Nobody did this before computers though.

It isn't "basically logistic regression", it is just a technique which uses logistic regressions. The full technique is ML. If you remove the ML parts it is basically just logistic regression left though.

Like, logistic regression uses a non-linearity to convert the outputs to the 0-1 scale. How does that differ from a one layer neural network?

I think this would probably be a more profitable discussion if you could define Machine Learning for me.

Is logistic regression not ml? Or maybe only if it's fit with gd?
