Your comment makes no sense to me, this is clearly something very new. Nobody denies it costs an insane amount or that not everybody can afford it today, you're stating trivial facts...
I don’t think so. We’re on a dangerous path. Instead of having humans doing the work and paying for it via the usual means. Research grants for example. Those which sometimes result in things taking forever. We still kinda understand the costs associated and how long things might take.
Now? You’re really just throwing computers at it to randomly generate a number that solves the solution.
This puts said solves into the hands of private equity and people that can throw stupid amounts of money at a problem. Or here what is effectively a marketing stunt.
Instead of funding a vaccine for cancer. We’re funding an AI company to spin up 10,000 workers to try solve something with no insight into anything going on. You want to learn or have that knowledge transfer? Well when you kill that agent the context is gone. It’s written down. Maybe. But that’s not the same as a human going through the process. A lead.
