My bank uses XML for their internal tooling without even asking me. How is that even legal?
I can't even imagine all the other tool choices businesses I interact with make without getting my sign off.

I really hope you’re working in a safe area. If you think XML, is anything like AI, you need to study a bit more about deterministic and non. Schemas, structures, compilers. In fact if you were my student, id make you create a compiler. Without ai.
Edit: I try very hard to see others point of view, I’m starting to worry
XML isn't stochastic
Wait till you learn the bank routinely uses CSV as a non-ironic exchange format! That definitely is stochastic.
So? Did they ask me about it? I don't approve of it and I don't think it's secure enough for a bank. Absolute negligence.
You jest but I agree. Also I think the "stochastic" arguments is getting old. What if XML was stochastic? Does it matter if it is "stochastic" or does it matter if it is correct?
You know my compiler generates a different binary every time I compile the exact same code. My CPU definitely is not fully deterministic yet it makes a nice show of it being so. I don't care and nobody cares as long as it works. And what "works" means exactly is quite a bit more involved than parroting "determinism".
