R49081 Is Prime

I believe this is an unpopular comment because “training an AI to identify primes” is pretty much technobabble.

What sort of AI are you referring to? A deep neural network? Why should this be better than our current techniques?

Really? It's not techno babble. Encode the first few thousand primes in QR codes and pictures of ducks, throw 2000 GPUs at it and see how long it takes to train a model to pick them out of the other similarly encoded integers. Tune for success rate with the next few thousand primes. Even if it's only right 20% of the time you've vastly increased the efficiency of finding new prime numbers.

You're making a lot of generic guesses and assumptions. Do you really think nobody has ever thought of this?
