    The term AI, when used by laymen, is a blanket term for the generative AI and LLMs that big tech is shoving down all our throats right now, not the highly specialized AIs used in medicine. So bringing up the COVID vaccine is largely a non-sequitur.

    The rest of your comment is so full of false equivalencies that I’m not even gonna touch it.

      The highly specialized “ai” that was used to make the COVID vaccine is probably significantly stupider than chatgpt two years ago.

      Nothing I said was a false equivalency, though I’m pretty sure you don’t even know what a false equivalent is.

        It doesn’t really make sense to call ai “stupid”. It’s just a computer algorithm.

        The results can be good or bad depending on what you want to achieve.

        Chatgpt can give a bad result if you try to play chess, because the GPT based algorithms are not very good at that. For that problem a tree search-based algorithm is better. E.g. minmax

        Trying to compare the intelligence of a specialized, single purpose AI to an LLM is asinine, and shows you don’t really know what you’re talking about. Just like how it’s asinine to equate a technology that pervades every facet of our lives, personal and professional, without our consent or control, to cars and guns.

          So you’ve missed the point of what I was trying to say and proceeded to spout utter nonsense instead. Ok.

            If I’ve missed the point, it’s because you’ve not made it clear. Please point out what nonsense I’ve spouted.
