Data mining.

I wonder how it can be worth the extra cost on CPU/GPU time, compared to search of mail.

I might type "best value Jacuzzi" into Google, but "write a python script to sort numbers", or "write a message sounding like I'm actually sorry to not go to someone's party", or "this sentence is a lie" into an AI.

I can only see one of those being valuable.
