Wetware is my new least favourite word.

But super interesting tech.

I feel when a person says it it's just a lie. People speaking isn't news right?

Such a weird phrase.

If you report ones that are just news they do seem to be taken down though.

A big issue is about half of everything trump says could easily be the onion. Which is likely why there's so many political ones.

One of the states said people don't have the right to vote. That sounds insanely oniony.

There was one about 40% of family homes being owned by corperations. Again that could easily be an exaggerated and ridiculous thing.

So I think there's some personal interpretation.

I didn't say LLM. AI has existed since the 50s/60s. Fuzzy matching is an AI technique.

They do it much better than anything you can hard code currently.

That is indeed a poor use. Searching traditionally first and falling back to it would make way more sense.

Google's algorithm has pretty much always used AI techniques.

It doesn't have to be a synonym. That's just an example.

Typing diabetes and getting medical services as a result wouldn't be possible with that technique unless you had a database of every disease to search against for all queries.

The point is AI means you don't have to have a giant lookup of linked items as it's trained into it already.

No it's not.

Fuzzy matching is a search technique that uses a set of fuzzy rules to compare two strings. The fuzzy rules allow for some degree of similarity, which makes the search process more efficient.

That allows for mis typing etc. it doesn't allow context based searching at all. Cat doesn't fuzz with pet. There is no similarity.

Also it is an AI technique itself.

Honestly I feel people are using them completely wrong.

Their real power is their ability to understand language and context.

Turning natural language input into commands that can be executed by a traditional software system is a huge deal.

Microsoft released an AI powered auto complete text box and it's genius.

Currently you have to type an exact text match in an auto complete box. So if you type cats but the item is called pets you'll get no results. Now the ai can find context based matches in the auto complete list.

This is their real power.

Also they're amazing at generating non factual based things. Stories, poems etc.

Could be food safety, taxes, production rules or any number of things.

Things like this seem silly but there's likely laws or protection that use sandwiches in their wording.

Defining things you want them to apply to as sandwiches is easier than changing the law.

Tbf they genuinely do.

They've invested heavily in Linux and are one of its major contributors. I think they were in the top 5 of contributors.

They realised years ago the Linux desktop isn't going to take off with the average user. So there's no need to compete directly.

Azure actually runs on their own custom distribution of Linux.
