    Why do we humans even think we need to solve these extravagantly over-complicated formulas in the first place?

    Because those questions could do things like cure disease or help us better understand the universe or a million other things

    Shit, we’re in a world today where kids are forgetting how to spell and do basic math on their own, no thanks to modern technology.

    Not because of it, either. This research isn’t really related to that kind of tech, either

    Just because we can, doesn’t necessarily mean we should. We’re gonna end up with a new generation of kids growing up half dumb as a stump, expecting the computers to give us all the right answers.

    This isn’t going to be for daily normal use, you’re projecting fear at the wrong tech

      Ask a quantum chip how to cure a disease? Sure, let’s accept that as a possible future…

      You really think the chips actually understand diseases? We’re gonna end up with a whole new generation of people that have no clue how the shit works to begin with.

      Eventually it’ll be like “How do I trim my toenails?”, while the ‘intelligent’ system responds to cut your appendages off.

      Granted that AI and quantum computing aren’t quite the same thing. Does it matter? Future generations will have the ability to just ask a computer how to generate cure a disease…

      The machine gives no fucks about us, it’ll just as easily destroy us if someone asks the wrong question or enters the wrong formula.

        Ask a quantum chip how to cure a disease?

        No, that’s not how that works at all

        You really think the chips actually understand diseases?

        Nope

        We’re gonna end up with a whole new generation of people that have no clue how the shit works to begin with.

        Projecting? Its very clear you have no idea how this stuff works, that’s for sure

        Granted that AI and quantum computing aren’t quite the same thing

        They aren’t the same at all

        Future generations will have the ability to just ask a computer how to generate cure a disease

        Almost certainly an impossibility
