This description isn’t how science has played out. When the scale changes often the model gets simple again. Think about how complex friction is at a molecular level. But a single coefficient is a good enough model for engineers and a continuous 1d graph is incredible. There is also no evidence that general AI models like multilayer perceptrons are good at constructing physical models from phenomena and lots of examples where they aren’t. The opposite seems to have had more success. Someone who understands a system constructs a model and then lets a computer determine the actual parameter values.
