    give me at least two peer reviewed articles that AI has had a measurably positive impact on society over the last 24 months.

    shouldn’t be too hard for AI to come up with that, right?

    if you can do that then I’ll admit that AI has potential to become more than a crypto scam.

      He’s already given you 5 examples of positive impact. You’re just moving the goalposts now.

      I’m happy to bash morons who abuse generative AIs in bad applications and I can acknowledge that LLM-fuelled misinformation is a problem, but don’t lump “all AI” together and then deny the very obvious positive impact other applications have had (e.g. in healthcare).

        LLMs fucking suck. But there are things that don’t suck. AI chess engines have entirety changed the game, AI protein predictors have made designer drugs and nanobots come within our grasp.

        It’s just that tech bros want to grab quick cash from us peasants and that somehow equates to integrating chat gpt into everything. The most moronic of AI has become their poster child. It’s like if we asked people what a US president is like in character and everybody showed Trump to them as an example.
