an acknowledgement of how relatively uncomplicated their structure is compared to the complexity of its output.

The interesting part is that this dated tech is producing such good results now that we throw our modern hardware at it.

That's exactly what I mean.

Maybe a less challenging way of looking at it would be:

We are surprised at how much of subjective human intuition can be replicated using simple predictive algorithms

instead of

We don't know how this model learned to code

Either way, the technique is yielding much better results than what could have been reasonably expected at the outset.
