also, yeah that 'statistics matrixy` thing, that used to have the name "fuzzy logic" and i am a big fan of one of its early proponents, Bart Kosko (who wrote the book with that title, as well as a cool cyberpunk book called Nanotime)
i've written several algorithms already that do "statistics matrixy things" namely first two were difficulty adjustment algorithms but right now my main paid gig task is writing one that searches for similarities between gamer's profiles (games, playtimes, achievements, teams, etc) and it's part of an "AI" project and the normies don't know this but fuzzy logic is the foundation of AI
let me repeat that
Fuzzy Logic Is The Foundation Of AI
most of the stuff that GPTs and similar do is literally do a transformation on data that has been statistically analysed and the proximity (how close on a graph) that is to another point on the graph, is a major part of how they make decisions
in fact, i just want to tell a story, back in 1999, i was dreaming up exactly a fuzzy matching graph based algorithm that would do translations between computer languages, it was practically what started me on the path back to my childhood dream of being a programmer
so, yeah
i hate the hype, but the technology is literally stuff that i'm very interested in, and have done several pieces of work related to, and am working on such a thing right now
