I think this is actually a pretty valid response to what I posted (it's the reason I included the asterisk in the bit about levels of pattern matching), but I was sort of intentionally focusing on the manifestation of AI algorithms specifically as they affect the experience of browsing the modern web. And while I think your point gets us closer to the truth about the general capability of these systems, I'd still recommend Melanie Mitchell's book to appreciate some of the subtle limitations of even SOTA models.
