Proposing to remove an extraneous example
The following edit removed a paragraph added by User:FULBERT. User:FULBERT then reverted it.

I have just come across the page, and I am inclined to agree that the paragraph in question is irrelevant. I am not sure if there is a Wikipedia policy that I can quote to support this opinion. The paragraph seems like a conversational aside, a tangent or a pointer to a different topic rather than an example which sheds light on the concept under discussion.

IF it could be established that many-to-many relationships play a central, highly significant, widely discussed and important role in the analysis of the impact of AI systems, then I would agree that the paragraph should stay, perhaps in a section of its own. But many-to-many relationships are truly ubiquitous. They occur everywhere one looks, and the books-and-authors example already present on the page fully captures the concept. There is an embarrassment of possible examples, and to include this particular one involving medical AI smacks of unfamiliarity with the sheer breadth of the concept. It is an unencylopedic addition to the page.

Currently, googling "AI many-to-many" in fact returns many hits discussing many-to-many language translation systems, FWIW. Theoh (talk) 23:50, 13 December 2023 (UTC)


 * I agree. I just did the same thing and saw that @FULBERT then brought the link back. This has nothing but tangential relevance to this article    Benmoss925 (talk) 11:11, 6 April 2024 (UTC)
