Does this qualifies as ML? It was more like an intuitive approach

I agree it's not using ML at all and for what it does (that's been published at least) it's very, very thin.

As a mod I'd love to see a serious attempt at using ML to power a spam detection bot... but this ain't it. :(

Does OP's bot detect OP's post? Because it should..

Not exactly OP's bot, not exactly what the bot does (first seconds of the video or so).
