Really bullish on AI, huh? Designing an engine? “[snuffs] out common diseases”? Solving SEO? Idk cotton, let’s see how this plays out.

Sniffs out, meaning diagnoses
- dartos 2y ago
  Could just as well be a typo. I’ve never heard anyone call diagnosing “sniffing”
  - feznyng 2y ago
    It’s an idiom, like the detective sniffed out some clues.

      lol, I do mean a sniff with a nose. The technology I'm referring to can work by taking air sample. This technology exist, the prediction is that cheap version will be available. My assumption is robots will want a digital nose, for example nanny bots will want to smell smoke and react. An example I read for this technology is that grocery store robot will want to detect spoiled food. It will be mass produced and gets cheaper. But we don't have a robot industry yet, so my confidence level on this prediction is low. The AI part of this is just data analysis of spectral lines.

    Disease can change body odor, and dogs have been trained to "sniff out disease" [0][1] (i.e. detect via smell) for years. Various researchers have been working on robot noses that would be able to do the same.[2] Presumably a widespread and/or less expensive version of this "robot nose" is what doku means by "AI nose sniffs out many common diseases".

"Solving" is a bad choice of word. SEO does not have a solved state. Digital design of engines can already happen now. AI chip design is already a thing, I think they help lay out more efficient trace lines. Since digital design and simulation can all happen digially. The whole cycle is digital. A system like Claude's computer use can take control and produce 100s or thousands of small modification of existing design to be simulated and if it has testable performance critiera. I think it can be done now. Maybe some finetuning the model for specific UI control.

  I think it’s far more likely that a specialized model would be make for a such a task. Just like with chip design. I’d be surprised if they weren’t already using some kind of ML/statistical analysis in the design of engines. When I read AI, though, I was assuming you meant LLMs, not one of several statistical modeling technique.
