Usually, people use AI for reading logs, looking for interesting events or patterns. That goes way back. Microsoft was using it to classify and group similar crash dumps back in the 1990s.

Rust lets you write a default debug print for each struct, and will generate one if asked. So you don't have to write out all the fields yourself. That's enough to do the annoying part of the job.



Microsoft was using 'AI' in the 90s?


AI and ML aren't new, they were already well established by the 90s. For example the book from which i first learned about neural networks[0] was written in 1997.

Classifiers go back that far.


Expert systems and decision trees were AI in the '90s.

Remember, it's only AI until it works.
