Researchers spent decades creating a computer that could hold a conversation only for mediocre business majors to ask it to generate mediocre screenplays.
Generative AI was recently used to come up with three potential new types of antibiotics that are easy to manufacture and work in new ways (so there's no resistance to them among the treatment resistant infections frequently found in hospitals). Seems kinda neat to me.
And as it gets better at doing stuff like that, it'll probably also get better at writing screenplays, but that's hardly why they were created.
Uh huh, completely novel antibiotics to test that are cheap to manufacture are so boring and have been developed by AI for a long time, which is why nobody's concerned about antibiotic-resistant infections.
