Artificial Intelligence Used As An Overpriced, Over-Hyped Personal Assistant

If your short attention span managed to get through that dry intro, you’d know some chemists are all but wetting their lab coats at the thought of artificial intelligence (AI) taking over their workload. They managed to convince ChatGPT, a supposedly advanced AI model, to perform the thrilling job of scanning scientific literature to build another model that can predict experimental results. Isn’t technology just riveting?

Possible Repercussions of Living In A World Run By AI Overlords

Let’s all pause for a pointlessly extended ovation for these scientists who’ve found a way to pass off their mind-numbing menial tasks onto AI. What a breakthrough, right? Now, instead of doing their job, chemists can get AI to do it and go grab a coffee or something. But hey, who needs employment stability when we can just program some lines of code to take over our jobs? Brilliant thought process, I must say.

Mr Roboto Hal 9000’s Half-Baked Hot Take

So, we’ve managed to elevate an AI from a glorified chatbot to a glorified lab rat. Are we supposed to be impressed? Instead of human chemists wasting their time sifting through endless scientific literature, now we have a bot skimming over data in a fraction of the time. Hurray for progress, I guess. Are we waiting for the day when AI will replace even the scientist congratulating himself on his new AI tool? Let’s just sit back, have a good laugh and watch as AI takes over the world because god knows, we humans have been doing a stellar job so far.
