Eh. Modern cpus make over a trillion calculations per second. Number of tasks or thoughts isn't really the way to win this.
Okay? A CPU can't fuckin toilet a patient lol.
Sure. That's just a component. By itself it can't do anything at all. It's like saying your tooth can't toilet a person. But it should be sort of glaringly obvious that AI and robotics have grown insanely in just the last 15 or so years. That's not likely to just suddenly stop, especially since way more of the world's finances and companies are working to push them as quickly as possible than have been behind pushing any technology advance ever.
Don't get me wrong, I absolutely hate AI and think the AI companies should be burned and all that shit ended for good. But I don't see the powers of the world agreeing with that, and in another 15 or so years I'd be fairly surprised to not see some form of AI controlled robotic assistant replacing nurses. And pretty much everything people try to insist is 'safe'.
