After AI cures cancer: a list of minor annoyances to delegate, from hiccups to sunburn
Darpinian · x · 2026-10-03
Developer Darpinian shared a tongue-in-cheek list of "minor annoyances for AI to solve after it cures cancer": tooth sensitivity, sunburn, lactose intolerance, hitting your funny bone, hangnails, ice cream headache, poison oak, flossing, hiccups — later adding motion sickness and mosquito/tick bites.
The half-joking tweet resonates as a commentary on AI expectations: before conquering cancer, maybe tackle the everyday irritations nobody is working on.
