"We did it, Patrick! We made a technological breakthrough!"
A place for all those who loathe AI to discuss things, post articles, and ridicule the AI hype. Proud supporter of working people. And proud booer of SXSW 2024.
AI, in this case, refers to LLMs, GPT technology, and anything listed as "AI" meant to increase market valuations.

Machine learning is advancing medical science.
Is that simpler?
Things can be good for some things and bad for other things at the same time. Baby != Bathwater
Yes, and machine learning =/= "AI" as it's presented in the oop meme, nor is either mentioned at all in the article linked above or the wikipedia article on the development of the drug in question - which was my point. I'm sorry, I'm really not sure what you're trying to say with this.
That's not the distinction that is being made though. Do people in here admit that AI/ML has contributed to scientific research? Because if so then my bad.
"Admit"? What a creepy way to approach this. It's the distinction I and many others have made here, and please stop trying to force the individual to speak for an imagined group.
