Are the genome AIs more capable than the average ChatGPT? Or do they also sound convincing but fail at every real-world task given to them that has some degree of complexity? I'm not sure if I'm supposed to be afraid of them.

I'd say the medical fields are probably going to be the only "industry" (🤢) that has a chance of seeing an ROI from AI.

Human ability to find patterns of use in data/experiences is pretty friggin good on a singular organism scale. (Meaning humans are incredible at the intake and processing of the amount of information an average person interacts with throughout one lifetime). But pattern recognition involving datasets that are exponentially larger than we could ever have time to take in during one Human lifespan is literally the only thing AI is good at. (And writing the professional email to describe it too I suppose.)

And that is exactly the tool that will is already churning out significant results in medical research fields.
