There is an inherent difficulty in this

Paraphrasing an old Russian (and of course discriminatory) joke about a blond driving:

ML is a like a monkey with a hand-grenade - you never know where it is going to throw it.

This is an inherent problem with ML versus other approaches like optimal control, probability and statistics, etc. When you are using ML you are "guessing" the model which describes the process. You are not fitting data to a proposed model. So you have no clue what empirical model will the NN converge to.

So if it comes up with a silly answer, well, it comes with the territory.

Same as we have when we were little. Just listen to your children for a while. Or search for "kid's humor" on Google.
