I think the goal is that on the scale of grandpa <-> super computer, you end up somewhere in the middle, rather than back to grandpa. Even if it is at the speed, scale, and accuracy of grandpa, offloading the labor is valuable.

Did your grandpa do it at the same scale, speed, and with the same accuracy as modern day weather forecasting?

Some of this made me viscerally uncomfortable, despite knowing it's just math and whatever behind the scenes. Call it being emotional or silly or whatever, that's fine. But seeing those broken, repeated "please" and &quo
