We have papers showing how to exponentially accelerate AI using quantum computers, the same way we can accelerate other types of problems. (Finding a “best DAG” is related to lowest energy state.) Microsoft already has published a number of articles and is working on more. In general, global entanglement will give an exponential boost over isolated data centers — the same way a fully entangled computer is more powerful than a DWave.

I understand a number of readers aren’t familiar with QAI research though.

But that’s my point —

> Why should we get scientific? You didn't.

The person responding made a generic negative comment (as did you) due to not knowing the state of the art.

Incorrectly “correcting” people while yourself ignorant is prevented by giving people specific corrections: if you’d taken the time to tell me what you think I’m wrong about, you’d probably realize you don’t actually have a specific thing you think I’m wrong about — you just were surprised by my conclusion.

But given a globally connected quantum AI, where's the science that says that that's enough to continue to improve exponentially? To actually get smarter?
