    Chemistry, biology, and medicine are the few places where AI can provide real benefits to our world.

      I think its providing real benefits in almost everywhere it’s being applied

      There are drawbacks, but even with those AI and more advanced learning models have a generally positive impact in the fields their being introduced in

        Google search, journalism, writing

        Three blatant counterexamples where not only is it not forwarding the cause, but is actively destroying it.

      That’s the real use of AI/ automation. So that people has more time to engage in more important things, like art and philosophy.

        …or in the case of how it’s actually happening, more time to slave away to make a CEO and shareholders loads of money.

            Funnily enough, a lot of those sorts of duties are also getting automated. Are you ready for Hyper Turbo Automated Super Crony Capitalism?

              Last time they put an AI to run the economy they implemented anarcho-syndicalism and everyone became extremely wealthy, because as it turns out spending all your energy fighting for that last 0.01% of the pie is a huge waste of time when you can just bake more pies.

      To be clear, “AI” has been used for decades in life science. It’s called Bioinformatics. The recent trend of thinking of “AI” as generative language/image models is leaking into some clickbaity journalism here.

      This is a cool innovation, but the computer science in use here is not new and has nothing to do with the recent explosion of generative AI models

      Nah, A.I. can provide benefits in literally all areas of knowledge. I’m hopeful that one day humanity itself will be fully phased out in favor of artificial life.

        This is taking the AI grift way too far. You are correct though, in that they want to eliminate the working class.

          AI isn’t a grift, it’s the obvious conclusion of our technological advancements. Artificial life can be perfect in all ways we can’t. Also, elimination of the existence of a working class to begin with is both the ultimate goal and a good thing.
