That's very true, my comment was meant to be tongue in cheek but that may not have come across fully
All good. It's just something I see a lot of people say without sarcasm or irony a lot, and I think it's a dangerous assumption to have about these algorithms. The personification of them has been the biggest boon to the over-hyped adoption and investment they received these past years, so I generally make a point to clarify when I see it, if only to better inform those who might not realize.
