    To be fair, mRNA vaccines are largely possible due to AI, and not just any AI, but similar approaches that LLMs use. They took NLP (natural language processing) concepts, which were the precursor to today’s LLMs, to generate a bunch of possibilities. That’s how we were able to get COVID-19 vaccines so quickly, and we’re likely to use that for a ton of other diseases going forward.

    It’s not that far-fetched that similar techniques could be used to cure cancer.

      i believe a lot of protein sequencing has been done by AI models as well. It’s a huge boon to specific science industry where you simply need LARGE breadths of processing power, which is traditionally too expensive for humans.
