Computers science is just applied math, has nothing to do with the machine.
The term computer was coined to describe humans engaged in applied math jobs before the machines existed.
The models are matrices of values engaged in reducing options to the most desired outcome given inputs. That's software dev.
"Fundamentally" or "fine tune" is meaningless; no model spontaneously emerged through a membrane from another reality. They’re all fine tuned from nothing into a model or from a general model to a specialized one.
You're circumlocuting semantics to say something for social media, but the physical provenance is clear. They're not of mythical origin and it's still math relative to set of memory values.
