>AI was never about improving civilization; it was always about money.

Why not both? It has diagnosed patients who were unsolved by humans. And it was cheaper than doctors.

Why not mow a lawn with a sledgehammer? It removed grass that was overgrown. And it was cheaper than a lawnmower.

		Your analogy doesn't work. This patient saw 6 doctors over 2 years and they all misdiagnosed them. They were taking incredibly strong medication for the wrong diagnosis. GPT3 in 30 seconds gave 10 diagnosis and a doctor looked up the ones they didn't know. Saw one that fit, did the confirmation test, and the patient got the surgery needed. Cheaper and better.
