    Ehhh. I get that exploitative techbros and cryptobros have confused the issue by latching onto the AI bubble.

    But at the same time generalized artificial intelligence is very likely possible and will be an absolute game-changer if and when it happens. It's easily of similar value to fusion technology.

    And it is already bringing truly impressive results into reality - protein folding and diagnostic medicine come to mind.

      Seriously. It isn't helpful towards the environment if we are using so many resources to mine chips and metals and then push it along the internet to then be trained on said AI bots. Would be more sustainable using paper and planting trees smh
