Use of AI in posts

Looking at specific examples

Rejuvenation, Regeneration and Aging

I asked chatGPT for an analysis of the links between Regeneration, Rejuvenation and Aging. This was the result: Short answer: It depends on the animal. Some species never seem to lose their regenerative super-powers, some keep them but the process slows with age, and in a few (including most mammals) the capacity is switched off very early in life. 1. Species that keep regeneration for life Group Typical examples What we know about ageing & regeneration Key references Basal invertebrates Hydra (fresh-water polyp) Stem-cell–driven self-renewal is continuous; mortality and fertility curves stay flat for years, implying no age-related decline in regeneration at all. (PNAS, ScienceDirect) Flatworms Planarians (e.g. Schmidtea mediterranea) Even “old” planarians still rebuild an entire body from a tiny fragment. Recent work shows that a round of regeneration can actually rejuvenate aging tissues. (Nature) Urodele amphibians Mexican axolotl, newts Axolotls regenerate limbs…

Is a post based upon something that I had been discussing with the hacking aging group. I think it is useful and does a reasonably good analysis on an important issue

I have also used AI to post summaries of youtube videos and to tidy up the transcripts. I think that is better than just posting the video.

I posted an AI summary of the process of stem cell division.

I think all of those were good use of AI. Now if people think any one of those was a waste of time then please tell me. It is a good discussion to have where an answer would be useful and would guide me as to what to do in the future.
