Environment Canada said that over the past year, its "scientists and meteorologists have been carrying out extensive testing on the hybrid model, running it in parallel with our traditional model to evaluate its performance for predicting weather conditions in Canada."

The department added it will continue to rely on its meteorologists, whose is judgment is "critical" to interpreting results and communicating them to the public.

Thank you for saying this, I was gonna comment something similar. Machine learning has some actually good uses but it gets so completely overshadowed by pop AI that it's hard to discuss in nuance.

For the record, I'm as anti AI as it gets. I used to work in it in tech (not by choice) until I got laid off. But I acknowledge it has some legitimate uses, generally in the sciences and medicine (I don't mean those stupid AI transcribers)

It's just another thing that popular AI has tarnished
