[ExI] Dr. GPT, Problem-solver

[Ben Zaiboc]

I have an idea.

Instead of endlessly arguing and giving these GPT systems leading 
questions about whether they are conscious or understand things then 
believing their answers when they correspond to our preconceptions, why 
doesn't somebody ask one how it can help us cure cancer?

Or any number of really important real-world problems.

I mean, who cares if it 'really understands', when the real question is 
can it really solve real problems?

Let's get real!

Just a suggestion.

(I've mentioned before that we only understand a small percentage of our 
own metabolism. It strikes me that these AI systems, if instead of (or 
as well as) being trained on words, are trained on metabolic reactions, 
they might be of enormous use in a ton of biomedical areas (regardless 
of whether they 'really understand' the reactions or not))
