It sounds similar to things like OR-Tools, CP-SAT and Gurobi. These algorithms aren't just useful for controlling the power grid. You can also use them for Cockshott-style Big Computer Cybersyn economy-wide planning. Or deciding which order to do your errands in, or figuring out how many blackjack hands of exactly 21 you can make out of a certain set of cards.

TLDR: as a pretty experienced computer toucher this sounds significantly more real than I initially expected from reading the headline.
