Programmer Humor

Every single rebuttal that you did does not paint humans in a good light. Why did the doctor perform further said testing to verify the cancer? Because an AI predict it. And we prefer more false positives than false negatives, so we test the positive.

Testing for medicine as poison will be done no matter if it was found by humans or not. Searching for potential medicine faster is a welcome in my book. Rather than finding being the bottleneck, I'd rather test be the bottleneck. It means we will have a potential answer than none at all.

As for the astronomer case, it is true for every field. Cancer detection? Ideally, a doctor/medical technician feed the AI the data, and the doctor must also check the output of said AI. A simple X-ray scan with a marker marked as cancer will have a lot of parameters that the doctor could understand that a layman may not. Maybe it is the size, maybe it is the opacity, maybe it is the location, and many other things.

It can detect cancer. The need for double checking or verification is just that: double checking and verification. But the AI detected it. You know what "detect" means right?

It can also find chemical compounds for medicine. It needs to be tested like every other medicine found by humans. But it was found by the AI nontheless.

AI can make discoveries in space that no human or discriminative algorithm would ever be able to do. Do you know how big space is? And how much data is available for inference? Exponential discriminative algorithms (or even worse humans) would take billions of years finding things that generative algorithms can find in hours. It's an incredibly valuable tool. More valuable than the telescopes themselves.

Your comment shows that you have no technical understanding of the technology. You project LLMs on AI in general and don't realize that AI has been around being productive for the past 50 years. AI is the next step of evolution. Like fire, agriculture or electricity. It will make life so much faster, more efficient and more productive. It has already enabled us to accomplish and discover amazing things and it will only accelerate.
