Yep, there’s no “intelligence” involved at all. Just data and statistics.

Sounds like it’s just an LLM for DHT indexing…

Indeed. I suppose it’s a good idea in theory and should be helpful though

It is, but I can see a few use cases that could make it useful. Namely, it can look for common scam/virus patterns to filter more effectively and offer better content suggestions. There are also cases to be made for more descriptive indexing and content identification: lots of torrents have particularly bad naming schemes or misspellings that make finding the content somewhat more difficult or involved.
