    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.

        I’m not saying that AI can’t be used to detect cancer, but it can’t be used to diagnose any medical condition.

        The doctor needs to do the diagnosis. The AI detects it. AI is definitely used like that. And not just somewhere. AI is being used widely in the health sector. So it’s not just some bullshit. It’s actually useful. You have no idea what you’re talking about.

        are we really so dumb that we’d take away the power of doctors

        You seem to be a bit confused. Nobody said anything about replacing doctors. And insurancr companies weren’t even mentioned.

        that’s one big pile of shit. don’t know what else I expected from someone who blindly supports a tool with religious fervor.

        How do you even “support” that? What are you saying? Neural networks have neen around for longer than you’ve been alive for. It’s being used fucking everywhere. And not just yesterday but for many years now.

        Remove AI (neural networks) from existence and you wouldn’t have the following:

        • They are being used in avation for anti-aircraft collision systems since the early 2010s.
        • It is used extensively in Email spam filtering.
        • Tagging of your photos.
        • Search Engine auto-complete.
        • Banking transaction monitoring against tax evasion and money laundering.
        • Elevator scheduling in large buildings.
        • Spell checker in text editors.
        • Self-checkout in grocery stores.
        • Traffic lights optimization in cities.
        • Spotify recommendations
        • Battery optimization in phones
        • Noise cancellation in voice calls
        • Retail store shelf layout
        • Weather forecasting

        You’re just completely delusional and mad because you read something about LLMs on the internet. You’re the one who’s religiously attacking something so ambiguous and ubiquitous while not having any technical understanding about the underlying technology.

        Explain to me how transformers, RNNs, or CNNs work and we can keep this discussion up.

        Alright, fair point that it is detection and not diagnosis even if it means being pedantic. But everything else that an AI capable of is also not to be dismissed.
