Our medical knowledge is shockingly rudimentary. Why we can't coax cells to do what they did anyway before is something we really need to understand to pretend to have any kind of medical knowledge. What passes for medicine is nothing more than 19th century++. See this, do that, body will heal. That's about it. I'm shocked every time I see someone in a wheelchair, how can we have LLMs and hallucinated movies but not understand how a few milligrams of organic matter organizes into nerves? etc etc etc
I am hoping that the absolutely bonkers computing power we are currently wasting on fart videos will be used to simulate matter in the future, here's to cheering on the AI crash!
In reality, AI will help solve a lot of our medical ignorance. Not the goofball LLMs, but specialized AI algorithms specifically geared towards niche medical research and applications. Don't let GPT and Gemini sour the potential of some possibly game changing software.
