That's why I proposed "2 Minutes of Hate, every day": https://stop.zona-m.net/2021/01/we-really-need-two-minutes-of-hate-every-day/

"#AI will involve a collaboration between humans and machines"????

Hell no. 100% wrong. There will be humans who also use the variety of software called AI to do their things.

Keep the right perspective, people

(but AI for antibiotics is great, of course)

The pure non-existence of enough raw stuff to keep doing Business As Usual (BAU) is maybe the most ignored fact of our time.

But BAU is NOT a law of nature and, unlike BAU, solutions compatible with reality exist:
