> Your reply, while overall correct, still underestimates the problem of "how do we invent AI?"

I'm not talking about building a real AI.

I actually agree with you that we're nowhere near developing that. Not sure where you got any other idea from me.

I'm saying there are some machine learning problems that could be served by some simple data entry. This could save lives, including yours and mine, via advanced cancer detection [1]

You're right that since I studied data science, I'm incentivized to advertise its usefulness. But, I studied data science because I believe it is a growing part of our future.

You can try it yourself too. There are many tutorials online. Making use of machine learning gets easier every year.

I would gladly take the time, if only I had some. :(

Thank you for your kind answer.
