This is their go to motte-and-Bailey argument fallacy. Say something outlandish, get called out on it, retreat behind something more reasonable and how no one notices before sallying forth with unreasonable claims again.
Yeah machine learning for medical research has been around for a lot longer than LLMs. LLMs do not do medical research, they are just really expensive and fancy “next word” auto-correct generators.
no? when you’re doing real research you limit your sources to “reliable” ones. being able to write fast has never been the obstacle to publishing bad research.
I remember way back when with the Folding at Home project. That’s a type of machine learning distributed. People happily contributed their computer time. Hell, there were contests around how much compute time a particular group could give.
I cant believe how many people give strong opinions on generative ai when they cant even distinguish it from the much more general term machine learning
Giving LLMs credit for all machine learning is problematic

I’d argue they made scentific research harder due to the many fake papers you can find online
that’s been a problem since 2005 at least (first time i did serious medical resesarch)
That’s been a problem since start of humanity
Isn’t it worse now? AI slop can be produced waaay faster

I feel like anything involving electricity will be called AI fairly soon.
It makes steak taste better.
