A long rant says quantum AI is about ontology, not speed

- The post pushes back on the hype around “quantum AI,” arguing that quantum computing does not make AI faster but fundamentally different.
- It claims classical AI searches patterns in existing data, while quantum AI would explore a space of possible patterns through superposition and entanglement.
- The author says the real shift is ontological, not just performance-related, and therefore ethics and auditing cannot work the same way as they do for classical systems.
- The conclusion is framed as a philosophical question: how do you verify something that lives in superposition?
