In fact, I'm pretty much only getting ads for AI tools and gambling services at present

So my options are 'something that produces nothing of any worth, and exists solely to funnel profits to a select few at tremendous broad-spectrum cost to the users', and another one.

I was speaking with someone recently in the pharma sector. They suggested that asking LLM tools to aggregate and sift millions of lines of data would save time, shorten research times, and potentially reduve the use of animals in testing by being able to synthesise data better.

Odd. I heard that AI generated content was gumming up the works for peer reviewing, and essentially freezing scientific progress

I don't doubt there are plenty of legitimate, genuine uses for AI tools, and they could be/are of great value if applied and used effectively. But including that would have undermined the joke I was making.

The last week I've been shown a couple of ads for 'Struggling to integrate AI with your business effectively? We'll help make it work!' which really sounds like this is dying as everyone realises it's failing, but the companies who bought into it don't know about the sunk cost fallacy.
