Reply to comment by Ambitious_Bed_8841 in How rapidly will ai change the biomedical field? What changes can be expected. by Smellz_Of_Elderberry

yes. you will probably find schizophrenia to be something that isnt a problem in the future! I dont know exactly when obviously, but I would think that in 10 years the medical world will be very different. The rate of change will increase quite dramatically as massive amounts of information comes about thanks to AI. I would expect that in 2035 at the latest you will be cured or have significant reduction in symptoms with little to no side effects from the new medicines or treatments.

Maybe so, but at this juncture we can’t even theorize that it could be possible

Who cares. People though we could never fly then we did, and a few years later were on the moon. Today's science isn't good enough for understanding the brain but we will figure it out rather quickly with more appropriate science probably within the next couple decades.

If AI could deconstruct consciousness itself in order to achieve this, that is a way bigger hill to climb than solving mental illness, which you don’t seem to appreciate by comparing it to an airplane
