Does this website really use AI?

Several people have asked if this website really uses Artificial Intelligence, or if the AI examples were created using only "database techniques".

AI is to databases, what databases were to text files: A more efficient method to store and retrieve data.
There is no "AI magic genie". Every AI application is using data and logic that was previously stored. It can't pull data out from the sky (although it can read data from the internet).

If you ask ChatGPT to create an example of code that uses AI, it will use existing data to train a model, which can then be evaluated to answer questions pertaining to that data.

This website uses those AI techniques, so: Yes, this website really uses AI. It uses the techniques described here.

One difference is the terms that are used to describe the processes:

Old Term	New Term
Populate the database table	Train the AI Model
Query the database table	Evaluate the AI Model

The Stock Market AI Engine demonstrates how an application can be executed more efficiently using AI techniques:

The Stock Market AI Engine was trained using data from 50 companies and 35,550 trading days, from 2022 to 2024.
It allows you to answer the following question, and to replace the [variables] with any other criteria: From [2022 to 2024], when [AAPL]'s price changed between [-5%] and [0%] since [10] days prior, how often did it change between [0%] and [5%] [5] days later?

To answer this question, a database application would have to run 1,500 queries. Two queries (to compare the "previous days" and "later days") would have to be run for each of the 750 trading days in the past three years. The AI techniques described here make this application run faster.
