@TheGaloisCxn ML and string matching (think ELIZA) are parts of AI; LLMs are a part of ML.

@GaryMarcus I seriously doubt they're actually using AI for this. This is probably just legacy ML and string matching, then trending hashtags likely have their own service and get folded in naively, leading to even more duplicates. Shows how general purpose LLMs truly are 🙃
