>I believe the human mind is specialised to think in terms of serial solutions
The brain is massively parallel - 80 billion neurons operating asynchronously at only 100hz.
>is having a neural network the end problem that needs solving?
Absolutely! Neural networks are a general-purpose way to solve a huge number of problems, especially problems that involve raw data or the messy real world.
I know I think in parallel often enough that two threads end up disagreeing with each other and a 3rd one has to sort it out. I can’t begin to describe the internal fork() sensation that happens in my noggin constantly.
