Some AI is snake oil, sure. The wording in the cited tweet, however, makes it sound like AI in general cannot "work" (whatever that vague term means), which is untrue, as we have AI that does "work" already. The bigger issue is this assumption that the article makes that "humans haven't been able to make these predictions, and AI hasn't yet, therefore these things are unpredictable." To me, it seems obvious that there's a big difference between humans working with data and an AI ingesting terabytes (or more) of data.

It also seems obvious that the only realm in which "having enough data" doesn't equate to making accurate predictions is the quantum realm -- but even there, if you adjust your definition of "prediction" from "what will happen" to "the chances of each outcome happening", it's still predictable.

What I'm saying is, "humans can't do it, and machines haven't done it yet" does not imply "it can't be done".
