@achim I agree that most probably #ChatGPT won't help us solve the climate crisis or world hunger. At least not in a direct way. But I also deem it a bit unfair to dismiss all AI technologies as baseless hype without any scientific merit. #AlphaFold changed protein folding research forever, and #AlphaTensor recently found a faster matrix multiplication algorithm (https://www.heise.de/news/AlphaTensor-AI-system-speeds-up-matrix-multiplication-with-new-algorithm-7288780.html). Thus, I would be more than happy to see the advent of a coding AI advancing #OpenSource developments. :)
AlphaTensor: AI system speeds up matrix multiplication with new algorithm

With Deep Reinforcement Learning, DeepMind has discovered an algorithm no human thought of. It is supposed to significantly accelerate matrix multiplication.
