What "AI" is involved in this? It's mostly just a few database lookups based on merchant name and/or category, isn't it? Or is that just marketing gloss, because everything is "AI" now?

It's very likely that OP is one of those "engineers" that replaces database lookups with asking an LLM.

So, presumably, instead of doing a cheap/free DB lookup, an AI is prompted for the information. "list all credit card rewards of XYZ in json according to this schema:..."

You have too much faith in these people

To be honest I totally forgot we left it there. We did have an AI feature baked in that we feature flagged because we wanted to get the core functionality right.

Sorry for misleading you but I think the AI feature we have planned will be worth it

Well, if you're not using AI right now, you should remove that text from your website.
