In this case, it’s not so much the mechanisms of pharma we wouldn’t know, but what it is we’re even trying to cure - not having a definition of the disease or it’s symptoms and yet trying to engineer a cure would be pretty insane.

We have a very clear objective for a lot of this AI stuff. For the rest like the Stable Diffusion stuff it’s play.
Where could I find a good definition of intelligence? At least the intelligence aimed for when we talk about general ai?
In response to your questions, ChatGPT says, "Intelligence is the ability to process information, think abstractly, and learn from experiences. In the context of artificial intelligence (AI), intelligence typically refers to the ability of a machine or system to perform tasks that typically require human-like thinking, such as learning, problem solving, and decision making. There is no one specific definition of intelligence that is universally accepted, and different researchers and practitioners may have slightly different interpretations of what intelligence means in the context of AI."

Seems a bit circular.

"What's a good definition of intelligence?" "Human intelligence." "What's human intelligence?" "What we want AI intelligence to be like."

We must improve this thing so it can finally tell us definitively what we’re building :)
