Chemistry, biology, and medicine are the few places where AI can provide real benefits to our world.
Get to folding those proteins AI! cracks whip
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
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.
I would automate being a CEO then
Funnily enough, a lot of those sorts of duties are also getting automated. Are you ready for Hyper Turbo Automated Super Crony Capitalism?
Im hoping for these vampires to step into the light and burn. But i know i can’t have nice things.
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.
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

From what I’ve heard, part of the problem for antibiotics has been economic. There just isn’t a great return on investment for pharmaceutical companies to bring antibiotics to market compared to other drugs. Lowering the cost of discovery could hypothetically help develop new antibiotics and combat drug resistance. Or it could just provide another excuse for the agriculture industry to pump livestock full of antibiotics, thereby wasting any progress.
Physics and chemistry being mostly determinate make this a very great application.
