    There are plenty; AI is used in Pharma research to create medications. AI is used to combat climate change, to help people with dementia, in protection of rainforests or endangered animals - I’ve seen dozens of projects or products that tangibly improve people’s lives.

      That is true and a great use of AI, but none of those are genAI/LLMs.

      I have that traditional ML techniques get bundles with genAI.

      Worth mentioning that in most of these cases, it’s an application of AI doing what it’s actually good at (pattern recognition), which is then analyzed by actual people, rather than what people criticize it for (text/image generation) that produces slop.

      I remember hearing about AI models being able to identify cancerous tumors before they manifest in ways that human doctors can identify them. AI is really good at pattern recognition in that way.
