Yes that is what they are good at. But not as good as a deterministic algorithm that can do the same thing. You use machine learning when the problem is too complex to solve deterministically, and an approximate result is acceptable.

But can machine learning teach nerds not to ruin jokes? ;)

if it did, they wouldn't be nerds anymore.

But like why would you use ML to do basic maths? Whoever did that is dumber than a junior dev 😝

I think it's the nerds' job to teach the ML to ruin jokes.
