The weather and climate science AI revolution isn’t revolutionary
摘要
该文质疑AI在天气与气候科学领域应用的“革命性”宣称。作者指出，尽管AI应用日益广泛，但年初美国国家气象局因AI生成包含虚构地名的预报图而出现失误，表明AI尚未取代气象学家和气候科学家。文章认为，当前AI热潮可能被过度炒作，实际进展有限。
It feels like there's no escaping AI right now, whether you’re trying to type a sentence without being interrupted by a digital “assistant” or struggling to find a new refrigerator that doesn’t require a Wi-Fi connection for some reason. You’d be forgiven for wondering if we’re in the midst of a quantum leap in tech or whether people are just hyping up a heap of slop.
So what should we make of the growing use of AI in weather and climate modeling?
The conversation didn't get off to a great start earlier this year when a National Weather Service office posted a forecast map featuring nonexistent cities in Idaho with names like “Whata Bod” and “Orangeotild.” Thankfully, that was just an AI-generated image produced for social media, not the actual forecast model. Meteorologists and climate scientists are not yet being replaced by large language model prompt engineers.
