StefanPeople defending AI-generated “art” because AI is also used to find medical cures is like saying that smashing people’s toes with hammers should be acceptable because hammers are also used to build hospitals.
Noodlemaz@StefanThinks also not sure how many 'cures' we have from AI projects so far. AFAIK they're mostly used in analysis, and in drug molecule design - would be interesting to see a decent analysis of a) what kinds of things people are producing with it and b) how much of a role it plays - just time-saving on otherwise brute force stuff? Cool, but maybe not exactly revolutionary.
Outi 🦊🌱🌍🌈@noodlemaz @StefanThinks For what I've read, AI has been successfully used in detecting early signs of diseases in lungs (earlier than what human eyes have managed), to identify individual animals based on scale etc patterns, generally sorting through massive amounts of data in scientific research, the kind of work that would be very time consuming and mechanical.
I absolutely despise how it's being used to produce "art" etc, and hate all companies who push these unethical uses.

@OiskaE @StefanThinks yeah that's what I was saying, analysis, and big data sifting in my other comment. (I'm in cancer research so that's mainly what I see)
GenAI slop can get in the bin.
@noodlemaz @StefanThinks Ah, I missed your other comment, we're exactly on the same page with AI.
Also good luck with your research!

@OiskaE @StefanThinks ah just on the funding/fundraising side now, left the lab many years ago! Cheers
