I can see some minor benefits - I use it for the odd bit of mundane writing and some of the image creation stuff is interesting, and I knew that a lot of people use it for coding etc - but mostly it seems to be about making more cash for corporations and stuffing the internet with bots and fake content. Am I missing something here? Are there any genuine benefits?

      I think by broad definitions it can be, yes.

      Think about it. AI is just throwing a ton of sample data in and filtering out the results that are least correct.

      Presumably in order to determine whether the eg chemical is worth looking at in the first place
