My understanding of quantum computers is that they’re great a brute forcing stuff, but machine learning is just a lot of calculations, not brute forcing.

If you want to know the square root of 25, you don’t need to brute force it. There’s a direct way to calculate the answer and traditional computers can do it just fine. It’s still going to take a long time if you need to calculate the square root of a billion numbers.

That’s basically machine learning. The individual calculations aren’t difficult, there’s just a lot to calculate. However, if you have 2 computers doing the calculations, it’ll take half the time. It’ll take even less time if you fill a data center with a cluster of 100,000 GPUs.
