    Otherwise AI is a godsend for many fields, including science and medicine and other kinds of important research.

    That’s debatable. There has not been a breakthrough using this technology yet and I have yet to see it as transformational in biomedical research, even though I published three papers now based on AI tools.

    Having AI tools in biomedical research is utterly pointless when the US killed most research when Trump killed the NIH, and that spending was 80% of the world’s spending in diseases research and other countries have done nothing to fill that gap.

    The concept that AI will quickly produce a safe, effective drug that works for any disease is pure science fiction.

        That was for a protein modeling tool, not any discovery or treatment of disease.

        Enjoy your Koolaid, because summers are only getting hotter.

          Did you even read the quote you responded to?

          Otherwise AI is a godsend for many fields, including science and medicine and other kinds of important research.

          and your response started with

          That’s debatable. There has not been a breakthrough using this technology yet

          Last I checked, Chemistry is a science.

          You’re now trying to shift the goalposts.

          Global warming is a huge issue, but stopping AI will not materially affect that when we haven’t solved the problems that are ACTUALLY causing global warming.
