I’m in the US but had a similar thing happen to me when I was first getting credit and had no history. I figured it would be a safe bet to apply for a card with my bank at the time, and they denied me citing my credit score: 0. At the time I just laughed and applied for another card elsewhere, who did actually accept me. After a few months I checked and saw I was assigned a real score somewhere in the low 700s.

I’d understand dropping a score after 10 years without credit, but the 2 in this case is very low.

I wouldn’t mind if online textbooks had a button on the side that is just a looser search (like what Google was a few years ago).

It’d be handy if I could type in “gravity problem with the bunny” instead of having to either search for “bunny” and flip through all the results, or try to remember/guess the exact wording of the problem.

You probably could still call it AI too, since there’s likely some small machine learning model involved in that search.
