I have a feeling what's happened is that they built something they thought was quantum, but since it's so hard to measure qubits they had to develop a bunch of powerful statistical models to help read the qubits.

These models have gotten so good at reading "correct" results from qubits that they've actually started solving the problems themselves.

So are the qubits actually doing anything now or are the models solving problems from totally random qubit inputs? I think that's a question that even they can't answer
