i mean they still can give nobel prize in literature to chatgpt for extruding most text in unit of time

this is not my field, but allegedly alphafold kinda works, but it's also not ai and more pattern matching, something that google does expertly. i still don't think that it's gonna be very useful even that it does solve a hard problem

half goes to david baker, you might remember him from rosetta@home thing. the other two people are from google deepmind
