I can encode an arbitrary amount of information, losslessly, by recording the position of various stars and listing their positions in some order. This is not an explanation of that information. For some purpose, "it works".

Many things "work"; it is trivial to rig situations so that coincidences can be exploited. This isn't science.

It's hard to over-estimate how profoundly pseudoscientific associative-modelling-as-science is: it's the basis of the history of human superstition, fraud, magical thinking, and so on.

So now it can be automated: how obscene it is that vain engineers go around proclaiming to have automated science. This is ridiculous, and to claim to be able to do physics by correlating pixel patterns is a dangerous religion: no such model is safe, no such model reasons, no such model...

These models are extremely fragile houses-of-cards that must be understood as the magic tricks they are. It is charlatanism to host a stage show and call it science -- there are many gurus in the world on that grift
