> For example, users could synchronize Pulse with their calendar and Slack, setting rules to stipulate what their status and corresponding emoji should be based on keywords in their calendar event title. If their schedule for a particular time says “hair appointment” from 12-1pm, then the person’s Slack status update might display a scissors emoji alongside the word “haircut.” Or, it might say “birthday” alongside a cake emoji if that’s what is in their calendar.

AI is basically a big set of if statements if you think about it.

I don't think that's been true for at least the past 10 years. I don't see how anything related to deep learning can be described as "if statements" imo.

[dingi]

care to elaborate on how ML models work then?

[Filligree]

Big piles of linear algebra. I don't think anyone involved with deep learning would describe it as 'if statements'; that's expert systems.
