Facebook disagrees:
Math lets them manipulate your emotions on behalf of advertisers and spy agencies, alike.
As does Midjourney:

- DiscourseFan 3y agoI don't think its useful to refer to every symbolic structure that people employ to build machines as "math." There is more to Facebook and Midjourney than the equations used to represent their operation.
- zmgsabst 3y agoComputers compute — they’re a replacement for people doing arithmetic on paper forms. Fundamentally, there’s a mathematical representation of their computational system. Also, you admit that equations are driving the core of both systems I described: - algorithmic manipulation - SD images
