  • AI is just a tool like anything else. What’s the saying again? "AI doesn’t kill people, capitalism kills people?

    I do AI research for climate and other things and it’s absolutely widely used for so many amazing things that objectively improve the world. It’s the gross profit-above-all incentives that have ruined “AI” (in quotes because the general public sees AI as chatbots and funny pictures, when it’s so much more).

    Exactly. There are also hundreds of useful applications more than just consumer facing that you may be aware of. For example, I do research for climate models and we’re using diffusion models to make the data assimilation step more accurate, so there’s all kinds of things other than just making funny pictures or songs or whatever.
