Post memes here.
A meme is an idea, behavior, or style that spreads by means of imitation from person to person within a culture and often carries symbolic meaning representing a particular phenomenon or theme.
An Internet meme or meme, is a cultural item that is spread via the Internet, often through social media platforms. The name is by the concept of memes proposed by Richard Dawkins in 1972. Internet memes can take various forms, such as images, videos, GIFs, and various other viral sensations.

Don't we also use AI to fold proteins and make new medicines such as antibiotics? If not, then we should probably see if we could.
True. I have heard of AI protein folding and that's used as a tool for understanding metabolism and making new medicine. Antibiotics not such much I think but I would happily stand corrected.
My point is, it's not the one solution that fixes everything but a tool that's already applied where it can be. I'm not even sure that's a point at all since OP's post is obviously a hyperbole and more about "we use this very potent technology for porn". Don't take my first comment as a disagreement but rather as a FYI or whatever.

It also conveniently ignores that different people can do different things. While one person is using it for porn another is cataloging genetic sequences AI creates from non-carbon organisms.
It can always be both!
Citation needed for non carbon organisms but otherwise yes
Unfortunately I was just joking.
But also, can you really source a guy in his basement doing genetic sequencing? Not... Not really...
