Google says AI weather model masters 15-day forecast

We can work backwards from correct predictions and develop an understanding that way.

But most people just need to know if it’s going to be storming, hot or, going to rain on a given day and that is where this shines.

We can always work backwards, regardless of AI.

Sure, but with this new predictive model we will have better predictions to work backwards from.

OC was saying (I’m going to paraphrase) that this is the death of understanding in meteorology, but it’s not because we can always work backwards from accurate predictions.

Or we could wait 15 days and work backwards from what the weather actually turned out to be.

I guess there could be some value in analyzing what inputs have the most and least influence on the AI predictions.

Comparing the difference between correct predictions and incorrect predictions, especially with a high accuracy predictive model, could give insight into both how statistical models work and how weather works.
