Are there any genuine benefits to AI?
I can see some minor benefits - I use it for the odd bit of mundane writing and some of the image creation stuff is interesting,, and I knew that a lot of people use it for coding etc - but mostly it seems to be about making more cash for corporations and stuffing the internet with bots and fake content. Am I missing something here? Are there any genuine benefits?
You're viewing a single thread.
Anything that requires tons of iteration can be done way faster with AI. Finding new chemical formulas for medicine, as an example. It takes a "throw everything at the wall and see what sticks" approach, but it's still more effective than a human.
Brute force is AI now?
brute force would be "throw at the wall one at a time until one stick"
As long as everything gets thrown it's still brute force, but the reason they use ai for it is because it can throw a lot more a lot faster.
Presumably in order to determine whether the eg chemical is worth looking at in the first place
