Since when did regression get upgraded to full blown ML?

Since we gave up on AI and ML is eh close enough.

What is ML if not interpolation and extrapolation?

A million things.

Diffusion, back propagation, attention, to name a few.

Back prop and attention are just extensions of interpolation.

By that logic it's all "just linear maths".

Back prop requires and limits to analytically differentiable in a normal way.

Attention is... Oh dear comparing linear regression to attention is comparing a diesel jet engine to a horse.

It's all just a series of S(S(S(....S(0)))) anyways.

When you find yourself solving NP-hard problems on an Apple II, chances are strong you've entered machine learning territory
