I understand the sentiment and even feel it myself as a software engineer because there is/was so much ego wrapped up in these kind of skills. However, I have kind of gotten over it because I am now hopeful that AI may now help us solve problems at a much faster rate now that we could before and I think this is actually exactly what we need right now to solve things like climate change etc. If that means that humans don't get all the credit anymore then oh well, at least we may actually have the chance to solve some big issues now.

The tool corrupts. It destroys public trust. It breeds lazy incompetent braggarts. To apply it to a cause is to sabotage that cause

		All tools can be used for good and for evil, be used both responsibly and irresponsibly, and end up being helpful or hurtful. The use of algorithms to solve problems and find solutions has already proved useful, the algorithms marketers want us to call AI are not different. AI seems more likely to contribute to climate change than cure it, but there are appropriate places for that technology and science is one of them. It just come down to how it's being used.
