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.

It also conveniently ignores that different people can do different things. While one person is using it for porn another is cataloging genetic sequences AI creates from non-carbon organisms.

It can always be both!

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.

Edit: I saw this right after commenting

A meme is an idea, behavior, or style that spreads by means of imitation from person to person within a culture and often carries symbolic meaning representing a particular phenomenon or theme.

An Internet meme or meme, is a cultural item that is spread via the Internet, often through social media platforms. The name is by the concept of memes proposed by Richard Dawkins in 1972. Internet memes can take various forms, such as images, videos, GIFs, and various other viral sensations.

  • Wait at least 2 months before reposting
  • No explicitly political content (about political figures, political events, elections and so on), !politicalmemes@lemmy.ca can be better place for that
  • Use NSFW marking accordingly

Laittakaa meemejä tänne.

  • Odota ainakin 2 kuukautta ennen meemin postaamista uudelleen
  • Ei selkeän poliittista sisältöä (poliitikoista, poliittisista tapahtumista, vaaleista jne) parempi paikka esim. !politicalmemes@lemmy.ca
  • Merkitse K18-sisältö tarpeen mukaan
