I've been beating up on AI a bit in a couple of posts.
Not because I dislike it, but because I think that LLM's in particular can be better, and that in their current state it's dangerous to be pushing them to the public.
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.
