Absolutely. Bio-chemistry, astrophysics, imaging, diagnostic testing...

Everybody is stuck on how it can make text/video/pictures which is neat but not nearly as useful. This will just be used for porn/scams/ads overwhelmingly.

However, parsing huge datasets and extrapolating impossible to detect patterns and subsequent correlation of seemingly unrelated phenomena is going to be lit ๐Ÿ”ฅ

ML for recognizing trends is awesome. AI for generating porn of celebrities with weird hands is not.

Absolutely, but also when you consider ethical challenges (copyright, livelihood of artists), sustainability challenges (energy use) etc. The use cases that you describe are not nearly as controversial as LLMs like ChatGPT.
