    That’s a very naive view on the capability of AI. AI is very good at recognizing and recreating patterns. It can help to detect cancer but cure it not so much

      Don’t we also use AI to fold proteins and make new medicines such as antibiotics? If not, then we should probably see if we could.

        True. I have heard of AI protein folding and that’s used as a tool for understanding metabolism and making new medicine. Antibiotics not such much I think but I would happily stand corrected.

        My point is, it’s not the one solution that fixes everything but a tool that’s already applied where it can be. I’m not even sure that’s a point at all since OP’s post is obviously a hyperbole and more about “we use this very potent technology for porn”. Don’t take my first comment as a disagreement but rather as a FYI or whatever.

      That’s a very pessimistic view on the capability of AI. It is already assisting in creating vaccines and other medicine. It can certainly help find the cure for cancer.
