See, this is the kind of thing that I thought AI would be used for.
But now, after all the generative bullshit, and theft and hallucinations and antisocial reinforcement and environmental havok and techbro douchebaggery.... I just dont care.
Right!? Ai should be good at iterating a ton on existing data that researchers can pull novel ideas out of. Not do everything badly
Because slime molds are better at this than humans....
AI can beat humans at some super specific stuff, but that doesn't mean that in general it's better than humans.
Like, our "working memory" compared to any of primate is absolutely dogshit, we've got too much other shit going on to remember a 27 step pattern we were flashed on a screen in five seconds. But a chimp has that down the first time they see it, and so does AI.
If it was used to supplement a human's natural defiency it would have been world changing already at a tiny fraction of the cost. But they want to completely replace humans which just flat out isn't gonna happen in our lifetimes.
