I would think we also use these models to run simulations. So maybe the AI models can be used to run simulations with different kinds of inputs to see if doing X in one place (like planting a lot of trees in one area) will have an outsized impact rather than doing Y in another place.
AI models rarely have that kind of predictive power because they are noticing patterns not running simulations.
The model may care about trees because mountains above a specific height don’t have trees on them. The old, measures stop being useful once you start optimizing for them, AI edition.
