In pharmaceuticals, AI will not replace workers in manufacturing or laboratory. It's even far more useful for drug discovery. There is a recent report of AI designing a new and effective antibiotic, in which the research and development for such drugs have basically stopped since the 1990s because bacterial antibiotic-resistance tend too evolve too quickly for antibiotic discovery to keep up.

Edit: i meant bacterial antibiotic resistance

We had an ai demo at work last Friday where we just were showing off a local running llm with some test input. Best part was the demonstrator had it output something unexpected and they were like "I've ran this twenty times and it has never said that". Lol. We're alright but it's incredibly useful already it's pretty exciting.

I would love AI to replace me and anything I can do to speed that up I would do it.
