    We already have at least a century of research telling us that burning fossil fuels leads to climate change. What’s AI going to do at this point?

      give us a way to fix the issue without relying on the idiots at the top being decent human beings.

      if you can fix that issue then we wouldn’t have so much of a problem.

      i’d expect AI to help through information processing for research and engineering. current AI tools are already useful to many as co-pilot tools. not everyone is creative enough to get use out of AI, but we are moving towards being able to dictate and gesture in natural language to optimize some things that may have taken a lot more time. it’s also valuable for certain efforts in optimization and engineering. does everyone hate alphafold now too?

      i think a lot of the AI hate right now is from the fact that it takes thought and creative use to get the most out of available tools. as we all learned, if it isn’t already “AGI” it’s 100% useless for everything forever.
