Neural network did not replace LIGO data physicists: it cannot spot subtle deviations from Einstein
Physicists ran a classifier on real LIGO detector noise and data from the GW150914 event: below a certain threshold of deviation from general relativity, it cannot tell the difference.

For now, the search for signs of new physics in gravitational waves remains with classical methods.
