Love that. Reminds me of a time I was asked to build a "machine learning algorithm" driven recommendation system... and eventually I realized that delivering a recommendation system based on one big BM25 search query was fine, and the people asking for it to use "machine learning" didn't actually understand or care about the difference.



Haha yes, the LLM era is "data science is the hottest new job" all over again.

I guess everything with an algorithm in it is AI if you look at it from enough of a distance...


I like to call it “Artificial AI”.


It's nice to combine the two but the ranking takes tuning.
