There are good uses for AI in science and medicine, primarily for number crunching and pattern recognition.

Not for making theories or decisions that require an understanding of those fields though.

Chat bots are just a cancer to humanity.

Here are some ways that AI has been helpful: https://crcs.seas.harvard.edu/news/10-wonderful-examples-using-artificial-intelligence-ai-good

^ I DO NOT AGREE WITH THE ENTIRE LIST ON THIS ARTICLE. ONLY SOME OF THESE DO I CONSIDER TO BE 'USEFUL'.

Edit: Fuck AI "art"

  1. You think that is good?
  2. Did you read past that?

If it wasn't clear from the rest of the comment, I think it is a really stupid decision to put life or death decisions in the hands of a LLM.

  1. It's called a facetious statement.
  2. I don't know how to read.

The Machine God makes no such mistakes, to think as much is merely the weakness of the flesh.
