Oh no, that could be the conclusion. Ever study quantum physics? Lots of people have tried to come up with some kind of model with inner "hidden" variables that tries to make HEP physics into a completely deterministic, almost classical, theory. By your logic, if we just trained and AI with enough subatomic interactions, it would eventually be able to predict with 100% accuracy the results of a quantum process.

That's utter bunk.

Markets are the same way: people think there must be some rules that can be worked out to make them 100% predictable, when in reality there is an element randomness that makes cryptographers jealous. It will never be possible to predict the next number in a random process. If you flip a coin 99 times and get 99 heads, you still can't predict what the 100th toss will be (and before someone "well ackshually"s with something about an unfair coin: don't)

I mean, the job certainly could be impossible, but those studies don't prove it. As it relates to the discussion at hand we know that we can do better at evaluating mammography because humans do it.

Maybe I am not understanding what you are saying?
