This was of the few uses for machine learning that I think it was genuily useful. Mature enough to make an impact without destroying the enviroment. It was also my main argument for people that are full hate AI. Now gone. I hope others companies continue this research. It’s in this type of problems where machine learning truly shines. GenAi is still not mature enough, throwing so much compute power at it, is mostly wasting resources. Imagine what could be done if all the computer power and researchers wasted on chats went to this type of project.
