@orbitalmayo You gotta look at phase II trials, as outlined in the study, not just phase I:
"[In] Phase II the success rate is ∼40%, albeit on a limited sample size, comparable to historic industry averages."
(Phase II studies determine the effectiveness of an experimental drug on a particular disease or condition in approximately 100 to 300 volunteers.)

AI drugs are probably the most tangible one that comes to mind for me. There have been studies that show some AI-discovered molecules have up to a 90% success rate, which is way higher than the industry standard rate following traditional methods.

@orbitalmayo I'm not against using it for this purpose, I just question the constant "AI IS REVOLUTIONIZING EVERYTHING" narrative of AI tech bros when it has little to show for.

@thomasfuchs Not what one would usually think of but: genealogy.
Automatically transcribing scanned documents and making them searchable changed the field entirely.
It led to a bunch of countries tightening and refining their citizenship-by-descent laws and adding cutoffs like "only born before 2000," as so many more people now can discover the nationality of their ancestors.

@dgentry OCR has been around for decades and is not what “AI” means

@thomasfuchs OpenCV style OCR never worked well for genealogy. Training models using labeled handwriting examples and recognizing common phrases is much more recent.
However you seem focused on OpenAI and LLMs in this thread, which is fine.
