It’s simply another case where we have amazing technologies but we lack the right ways to use them, that’s what our culture does: creating amazing techs that can solve lots of human problems and then discarding the part that actually solves a problem unless it’s also profitable for the individual.
It literally is a problem of people wanting to submit other people for power games, that’s not how all societies work, but that’s a foundation for ours, but we’re playing this game so much that we almost broke the console (planet earth and our own bodies health).
It’s an anthropological problem, not a technological one.
This is the point, We have big advances in tech, physic, medicine. science…thanks to AI. But the first use we give it is to create memes, reading BS chats, and build it in fridges, or worst, build it in weapons to kill others.
AI in medicine permits the analysis of contagious diseases and the corresponding manufacture of treatments and vaccines in a fraction of the time compared to traditional methods.
The manufacture of new materials, research and optimisation in physical, meteorological, and environmental processes, which without AI would have been impossible.
The positive effects of AI are undeniable.
But as it was said, negative its implementation, its way of using it by people like a child with a new toy, why it is fashionable and cool or biased (commercial or/and politically) AI by big corporations, with AI build in even a Toaster as selling argument.
Artificial Intelligence isn’t the real problem, but human intelligence and ethics.
Because most of what you are listing is stuff that has been using ML for years (possibly decades when it comes to meteorology) and just slapped “AI” on as a buzzword.
AI exist since the first Chess Bot. Naturally due to the limited HW power in these years, AI applications where very limited. It bcame presenz with the current computing capability, thousends of times more powerfull, see the differences between the PC only the last 25-30 years, nothing to do. even a current low cost smartphone is way better as an high end PC from 15 years ago.
It’s currently a hype with more than 10.000 AI apps and a cpmpetition between developers and big corporations, with users which abuse it with and for crappy results without common sense, as toy instead of an tool to help in the tasks as it should be, and not for substitute the own work and research.
Reason because Bandcamp ban all music made with AI, to protect the artist and their work (https://lemmy.ml/post/41786760). As Example what i mean, it is not the same to use AI to help in a task, as writing aprompt an let the AI do your work, your painting, your music, your research, to sell it as own (mostly without even contrasting it)

What advances?

Do you have examples?

I feel like they are confounding LLMs AND general AI/ML. The latter is useful in many areas, while the former is mostly hype imo.
