    Don’t we also use AI to fold proteins and make new medicines such as antibiotics? If not, then we should probably see if we could.

      True. I have heard of AI protein folding and that’s used as a tool for understanding metabolism and making new medicine. Antibiotics not such much I think but I would happily stand corrected.

      My point is, it’s not the one solution that fixes everything but a tool that’s already applied where it can be. I’m not even sure that’s a point at all since OP’s post is obviously a hyperbole and more about “we use this very potent technology for porn”. Don’t take my first comment as a disagreement but rather as a FYI or whatever.
