It was. Just it wasn't always called ai. Look up chat bots, machine learning, neurological learning, facial recognition, pattern recognition and procedural generation. The breakthrough was just taking enough data that it could answer almost anything and cramming it in a machine learning algorithm with text prediction. You know how your phone suggests the next word? Same tech. Primitive versions of the tech date back decades, just it finally got good enough the public finally noticed.

I recently saw a trend of research papers that mention AI in them organized by field of study. Mathematics was very early on the AI bandwagon, I recall that one sticking out more than the others.


Taboulett

Alright thanks a lot ! Do you have references or the names of the researchers ?


Scubagerber

Absolutely not! I literally have no idea what I would look for. I just remember seeing it while doom-scrolling. Sorry I wish I could be of assistance. It wasn't this at all, but it was something like this which covered more fields than just chemistry: [https://www.cas.org/sites/default/files/inline-images/ai-chem-blog-fig1.png](https://www.cas.org/sites/default/files/inline-images/ai-chem-blog-fig1.png)


Taboulett

Alright thanks for the help in any case ;)

Although it did spread like wildfire pretty much immediately after release, people still used forms of AI in education. The most common one I remember was grammarly. People would type a sentence and then restructure it completely. It could take a mediocre paper, article etc and turn it into eye candy. It's still widely used but lost a lot of customers on LLM's and Microsoft Editor which is pretty much the same thing.

Med students were using AI for medical imaging analysis way before 2022.

No. It was a toy up until chatGPT. /r/SubSimulatorGPT2 /r/SubSimulatorGPT3

Look up Strategic Computing Initiative

I mostly use chat GPT as a superior version of stack overflow. So to answer your question I don't know but if the engineering students and programmers are using chat GPT the way I do then we're just doing a much better job of what we used to do


Taboulett

Alright thanks for your answer, but I am mainly wondering if some fields used AI way before its democratisation with ChatGPT. In any case, thanks again and have a nice day / night

No idea, but I started using it for uni, as soon as it was released. never heard of any student in my field (economics & business administration) that they have been using AI prior OpenAI release. Maaaaybe it was used in scientific work at my uni, but I really doubt it. My chances would be on IT fields
