    AI is already useful in some areas, such as identifying patterns in medical data (which leads to breakthroughs in diagnosing rare diseases, identifying genetic factors in disease, targeting new treatments, etc).

      Sure I just mean its not really AI, its simply more machine learning. Its not sentient, its not replacing the bulk of workers, it doesnt understand what its doing so its just a more advanced tool for workers to take advantage of.

      You say “already” useful like there are going to be more uses in the future.

      Nope. That’s what it’s useful for, and that’s all it’s going to be useful for until we progress beyond pattern recognition engines. Nothing available right now is ever going to be any more useful than it already is, it’ll be something totally new.
