You could ask AI to find antibiotics to kill antibiotic resistant bacteria. The bonus would be to give it a lab and drones to conduct actual tests.

Isn't that more of a usecase for genetic/evolutionary algorithms? Those are anything but new, however. I don't really see much use of LLMs here, which is what the current "AI" trend is about.

We’ve been using it at my day job to help us outline ideas for our content writers. It writes garbage content on its own, but it is a decent tool for organizing ideas.
At least that is what we use it for. I’m sure there are other valuable uses, but it is not as valuable (to me at least) as it has been made out to be.

As a programmer, I think it’s scary how AI is now able to write functioning programs out of natural language input now. Sure, it’s not perfect. It’s still pretty mediocre at the task. But a few years ago this was way outside the realm of possibility.
It can even correct the code it has written if there’s any error (with varying results).
What will happen in five years time? Ten years? My fear is that it will only need to be “good enough” to replace most of the programmer’s work. Unlike self driving cars, where “good enough” isn’t good enough.
