Lazy Humans Leave Lab Work to Over-Hyped Robots

AI Cocktail Party for Bacteria

So apparently, scientists are too bored or lazy to do their job and now they’ve gotten their shiny AI pets to do the grunt work. This razzle-dazzle duo is now busy whipping up amino acid cocktails for their bacterial guests (what a party), specifically targeting two species which must feel pretty special right now. But the real kicker is that these know-it-alls are hoping their metallic minions will unlock a whole new world of information about the vast 90% of bacteria that humans can’t be bothered to study.

A Bad Case of FOMO Affects More Than Just Medicine

Feeling the sting of their own inadequacy, scientists are betting on robots to conduct a ludicrous 10,000 experiments per day. Why? So they can feel one step ahead of that oh-so-elusive breakthrough in the fields of medicine, agriculture, and environmental science, all while conveniently hiding behind their computer screens. Let’s hope those glorified tin cans have a better sense of purpose and direction than their human overlords.

The Almighty Hot Take

Remember when scientists tirelessly explored the unknown in pursuit of new discoveries? Yeah, me neither. They’ve stooped to new lows by relying on a fancy blend of AI and robotics while they pat themselves on the back, sipping their coffee from the back row. Buckle up, folks: this marriage of arrogance and automation is only going to keep pushing human mediocrity to new heights.
