> they sent me a trouser with wrong measurements and a postcard that said that they adjusted my measurements with AI

This brings a whole new meaning to "over fitting"

I find it amusing that this new meaning is exactly the opposite of the way it’s used in statistics. (Discarding an individual’s particular measurements as noise sounds like under fitting in this problem.) I wonder if this discrepancy has caused any misunderstandings between the AI team and customer service.
