More like an ad-hoc endocrine system then any kind of speech. Honestly don't really like how that mechanism is portrayed as speech. Certainly it helped the person who figured it out sell a lot of books, but it's quite the misnomer.

i wish they'd at least compare it to a computer network instead, there's no intelligence, just information being passed along.

After all, it's only intelligence when I do it.
