When Larry Ellison is in the White House talking about AI being able to make a cancer vaccine, you know this is purely dillusional thinking.

Ellison's trying to be relevant in whatever way he can these days but he doesn't have any real ideas anymore.

AI accelerating medicine research is actually one of its few short term innovative use cases; most other applications are glorified search engines

I agree with you on that.

However, I should point out Ellison was flat out staying AI can develop cancer vaccines as opposed to simply stating that AI can help substantially with medical research.

Research can uncover many things but developing vaccines for cancer is the great unknown. We donтАЩt yet know what will be uncovered from medical research, even with AI. Even with medical science, changes happen in a regular basis that not even AI can predict or calculate.

Until an actual vaccine is developed, Ellison & Co are being delusional.
