  • For the downvoters: This kind of AI is nothing like generative AI / LLMs. This is the kind of AI that’s actually been used for decades and has proven very good at handling large amounts of data. Machine learning excels at ingesting huge amounts of data and doing stuff like pattern analysis and predictions. The advancements in hardware have meant larger models, that can handle more data with more precision and weather prediction is one of the places where these advancements have shown good results.

    So don’t just downvote because AI bad. I fucking hate genAI and what the handful of AI companies are trying to push onto people. But machine learning in data analysis is actual science and a good thing.

    Also: Weather systems are chaotic by nature and by that I mean chaotic like in Chaos theory (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chaos_theory) often misunderstood and misquoted. But it means very small variations can have huge effects. That’s why the prediction van be 90% confident and still be absolutely wrong. That’s inherent in how these systems work and cannot be fixed. So better weather prediction does not mean perfect weather prediction.
