Wait, y'all have parents that understand and/or care what you do for a living?

Someone needs to make, and maintain AI systems.

AI can't exactly fix itself when it breaks.

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
