Reply to comment by FreshMango4 in What if We Didn’t Have to Test New Drugs on Animals? As organ-on-a-chip technology comes of age, the bipartisan FDA Modernization Act 2.0 would remove the requirement that new drugs must undergo animal testing before human clinical trials by Responsible-Hat5816

I'm sorry, but that's just not true. If an AI could only handle situations identical to the data it trained on then it would be pretty useless when deployed into the real world where data would almost certainly not match up perfectly. So it obviously needs to be capable of (and is capable of) extrapolation beyond what it is trained on. So it is obviously more than what you call a "pattern duplicator." AI does pick out patterns in huge amounts of data that can meaningfully represent a solution to a problem though.
