The strengths of Machine Learning are in the extremely complex programs.

Programs no junior dev would be able to accomplish.

So if the post can misrepresent the issue, then the commenter can do so too.

Yes that is what they are good at. But not as good as a deterministic algorithm that can do the same thing. You use machine learning when the problem is too complex to solve deterministically, and an approximate result is acceptable.

But can machine learning teach nerds not to ruin jokes? ;)

I think it's the nerds' job to teach the ML to ruin jokes.
