I'm working on an application that uses a pretty specific word that is basically universally used to describe a particular idea. There aren't a bunch of synonyms or other ways to describe this concept. My application uses this word in the title, the abstract, the claims, and throughout, as does the prior art. It's also a word that does not have any alternative definitions.
So after performing a similarity search, I tried to AND it with the particular word to help me skim what it found. Guess how many hits I got?
FUCKING ZERO.
AI search couldn't come up with a single reference that used that word somehow. Like, a basic keyword search would have returned better references than the 100 our AI picked.
Good thing we aren't betting the USPTO's entire future on this technology!
