AI is so full of crap. there is no I.

Basically because of modern processing power they just brute force solutions. Throw enough neurons and you can map anything. Hence why these companies and others are making a fortune off of it.

You end up with big server rooms to do simple tasks. just like the 1960s.

You can blame google for that, they brought back the AI buzzword.
Traditional HPC is brute force for exact answers... machine learning or deep learning is for when you don't need exact answers, when 92% will do... it can get there much much faster. It is the optimized solution.

Being fair here, the HPC guys are looking at DL training precision and thinking that in many cases that works for them as well.

As long as there is a non 0% probability computer assisted Montecarlo will get there faster.
