Chances are AI is easier than hand-rolling an algorithm for this. And that AI is almost certainly not an LLM.
We really should still be calling this machine learning... Calling stuff AI has so many connotations that aren't really applicable to this type of software. We've had image recognition and other matching algorithms for years before LLMs came along.
Everyone seems to think all AI is the same thing which is NOT true.
