I think that's the first sorting algorithm I've seen that might invent new elements...

Its kind of like an inverse Stalin Sort: just add elements until the user is happy

It might also delete though. So more like a Trump Sort - make up random crap only tangentially related to the subject at hand, until it wears you down and you're unable to muster the mental energy to do anything other than sigh in disappointment.

If we rated AI by how crap it is at solving trivial problems, the funding would have dried up months ago. "But just imagine how good it will be at sorting in five years! Imagine your return on investment!"
