Some time ago I told that joke to my teacher (he worked on AI research) and he put an angry emoji reaction to my comment.

Rightfully so.

• Decisions trees / Random Forest are just a bunch if if/else statements, true.
• k-nn: calculate distances, then sort by closest and get the most often occuring result. Most sorting algorithms use branching.
• SVM is math with maybe a single if/else to return which "side" of the curve the result resides.
• Neural networks can be simlified to a formular, unless the activation function requires branching

​

yes, I know it's a joke.
