In their study they claimed a strong correlation in these fields (vs. compute): * Weather Forecasting * Protein Folding * Oil Exploration (at BP) * Chess * Go ... The latter 2 being games, which I personally do not find surprising. But I do find it inspiring that we can &quot;just&quot;…</p><p><a href="https://hackerpaper.kaipfister.de/p/2206.14007/">Paper and discussion history</a>.
