I never knew that. I feel just a bit bad for loving Postgres now...

It's not true.

But if it was, it wouldn't be a reason to dislike Postgres. Academic AI research in the '90s is a far cry from commercial AI companies today.

OP is just kidding btw. Postgres has been around since the 90s before Nvidia had even released NV3 / RIVA 128.

I was thinking of the Nvidia connection. I definitely wouldn't trust a database written by an AI!
