To make this useful, I would release the weights. Otherwise this is just a small wrapper script for a support vector classifier that anyone could whip up with chatgpt in minutes.

Is the included model.pkl not that?

  Sure seems that way. To me it's quite surprising it's only 7 kB, though.

    The model isn't doing much work, it just takes 3 numbers as input and gives a prediction as output

  I am not sure if that was there when I commented

"That anyone can whip up in a few minutes" is doing a lot of work. I think maybe a few tens of thousands of people worldwide have any idea of what you're even talking about.

  I dunno, I think literally millions of people have taken Andrew Ng's intro to ML. Something like 11k papers were submitted to ICLR this year.

  Not sure if those numbers are right but if so, you just cured my imposter syndrome (for today at least).

    'Few tens of thousands' is for sure low. But if we talk in percentage of adult humans ... let's pull 1,000,000 out of thin air as the number who understood what that meant, that's 0.02% of adult humans. An anecdote: recently, we mentioned ChatGPT to my partner's mother. She had never heard of it. Zero recognition. Revel in your expertise, friend!

    Maybe that would be more apt if this were web app rather than a 10s of lines training script

  Sure, or at least close enough on the exact number for the point to remain valid. But that doesn't preclude ChatGPT doing it anyway — my CSS/JavaScript knowledge was last up to date some time before jQuery was released, and ChatGPT is helping me make web apps.

  At least hundreds of thousands, likely millions
