Reply to comment by ChanThe4th in What if We Didn’t Have to Test New Drugs on Animals? As organ-on-a-chip technology comes of age, the bipartisan FDA Modernization Act 2.0 would remove the requirement that new drugs must undergo animal testing before human clinical trials by Responsible-Hat5816

Lol no.

Ai can replicate patterns you've fed to it.

It's a pattern duplicator, nothing more

Uh, the A.I. that essentially solved protein folding would like a word.

And that word would be “data”.

Uh, so you're telling me the A.I. is capable of creating new solutions from pre-existing data? And that is different from my implication in what way exactly?

I'm sorry, but that's just not true. If an AI could only handle situations identical to the data it trained on then it would be pretty useless when deployed into the real world where data would almost certainly not match up perfectly. So it obviously needs to be capable of (and is capable of) extrapolation beyond what it is trained on. So it is obviously more than what you call a "pattern duplicator." AI does pick out patterns in huge amounts of data that can meaningfully represent a solution to a problem though.
