Do you not believe them when they say death to America?
Researchers compared AI weather models to other forecasting models that use physics to see which was better at predicting extreme weather events.
The authors, who are climate scientists in Germany and Switzerland, found that AI was not as accurate when it came to very hot weather, very cold weather, and wind storms.
The study was published in the journal Science Advances.
Previous studies and real-world tests have found that some AI models are extremely good at predicting normal, everyday weather.
But the new study finds that doesn't extend to extreme weather events.
The findings have implications for how weather agencies might apply AI technology to forecasting.

Hi.
We're going to Cambodia, specifically to the central Cambodian village of Prek Tush.
It's right next to the Nikang River.
So I was there in December.
I visited with an NPR team that included producer Ryan Kelman and interpreter Tat Odom.
And we wanted to visit this particular place because of something kind of surprising that's happening there, something related to its location, which is right next to this massive river.
Yeah, yeah.
And this river is everything to the people in this community.
It's a fishing village.
On the afternoon that we arrived, some women were fixing fishing nets.
