I totally agree. There are oh so many ways to code to avoid anything to do with IMP.
However, my fascination with it is that it appears to be the only Logical Operator that is not logical at all. A computer only understands 1 and 0 so all your coding not only needs to have a logical flow but comes down to just 2 things - 1 or 0. The case of IMP has more of a hint of human logic than computer logic. We humans IMPLY tons of things, like Captain Kirk v's Spock. I'm not sure if our society still finds it appropriate to imply Blue is for Boys but when we look at some one in blue at the very far end of the Mall hallway, we could be thinking "that guy up there.."
In terms of AI generative making it to the next level of AI general, I'm thinking IMP may take on new importance role in prediction.
