Is this sarcastic or something? Math understanding is a fractal, the closer you look at a branch the bigger it gets. Statistics in particular seems to have countless real world applications.

Not sarcastic, looking at statistical modeling there is a vast library of modeling techniques and research of which “AI” is a small component.

In my experience, non-AI models tend to outperform the AI ones in many applications.

This is different than how AI is marketed.
