And you get fun intro sites like this:

I ended up going a bit overboard and doing a few more replacements: "data" becomes "Raw Magic Material", "probability" becomes "The Fates", etc. I had fun with it.

The code is a bit janky, so pull requests are welcome. And if you think I should make the simpler version that only replaces "machine learning algorithm" with "magic spells", leave a comment. Enjoy!
