      But it’s framed in terms of “quantum” and “AI” so WOWOWOWOWOWOZZAZAXXAZAZOZOAA MAGGGGIIICCCCKKKK!!!

      So you can’t actually solve problems. You can just look up previously solved problems.

      What a clever idea to write the results of an experiment down.

        I mean it’s not that sinister.

        It’s just not impressive in the slightest. Like, we still use lookup tables for trigonometry functions

    It’s a user-friendly wrapper for existing fake quantum. It’s not a “physics shortcut” and it doesn’t “tackle quantum problems.”

    Also no quantum problems have ever been “reserved for AI.” Some quantum solutions borrow optimization techniques from machine learning, but classical machine learning algorithms aren’t designed to leverage (or even consider) quantum effects.

    I’m putting this out there because there’s a tendency to lump together all the buzzwords, like AI and quantum, into one big category of powerful-technologies-I-don’t-understand that results in hyperbolic projections and magical thinking that thwarts progress.

      The only quantum problem reserved for AI that I know of returned the answer ‘42’.

    making it easier to run complex simulations without relying on supercomputers or artificial intelligence (AI) tools.

    I stopped reading there. Is it any good?

      It’s got nothing to do with artificial intelligence, the writer of the article is just an idiot.

      What quantum mechanical problem would an LLM be able to assist with? We don’t understand quantum mechanics all that well so how would an AI trained on a data be any better? Truly stupid article.
