Subject: Re: OT: AI Nobel Prizes
As a scientist, I feel that truly valuable contributions of AI are not generating pictures of kitties in spacesuits from a text prompt. But I guess it depends on your definition of "valuable", there's probably lots of money to be made from the kitties in spacesuits kind of stuff.
OTOH, solving the protein folding problem, and similar problems with the help of AI, will lead to many advances in medicine and biotechnology (and other fields).
This will create huge financial value.

Don't get distracted by the kittens - there is massive investment being made in productivity tools based on AI tech - with incredible ROI attached to them.
