The only conceivable way would be to invoke change at the source. You would need to influence or infiltrate the highest powers involved in the decision making there. Since this would require you to be a industry relevant billionaire and it can't be done with politics especially when payoffs are involved, good luck is all I can say. But I'm just a philosopher, not a miracle worker.

It's great for sales copy and writing socmed posts catered to the platform. Has saved me lots of hours "hand crafting" that crap.

I know of many authors using it for research, to create book outlines, blurbs, marketing copy, and style editing, which is saving thousands of hours overall. Is it "writing books"? Absolutely not, and anyone who has used it to help with their creative writing can attest to that. I hear ChatGPT4 is better at writing cohesive short drafts of chapters but I haven't used it yet. Even though output still needs a lot of editing for voice and polish, it's saving time, and time is money.

Really? There is an amazing amount of research going on every day all over the world. Rightfully it takes a lot of time and testing to bring new therapies to mainstream use. Go back just 20 years and look at how far things have come, immunotherapy, gene therapy, hpv immunisation to eradicate cervical cancer, better diagnosis, screening and drugs.

The USA loses 250-600 Billion dollars in IP theft every year to China.

Remember Segway? They started manufacturing plant in China, which stole their IP and made hoverboards with LEDs and a million other things and they were so wildly successful in the knockoffs that when Segway sued them for blatant IP theft, they decided to just buy Segway. Proof (Segway bought by Ninebot.)

So much excel help. I mean when you google something, it simply does not come out right. You can't be like 'hey google, how can I make a formula that will look at a cell, read it, and then look for that information in other cells; this is the specific error that I get when using this method: ---'

That'll just not happen. Also for the basics of things I don't understand. You cannot ask a website to further explain itself, or to paraphrase.

It should be treated as a friend that knows alot, not like a search engine.
