it requires a huge amount of proccessing power to achieve, but it is basically the capablities we've already had with the much greater proccessing power through high end (expensive) chips and gpu's locally and mutli--billion $$ cloud data centers. It is mostly running routines and instructions we've had previously, but with a better more human like interface and expanded features that were considered a waste of the capped computing power generally available previously. As such more trained personel were previously needed to interface with the automation as it wasn't so user friendly.
