🤦🤦🤦 No…it really isn’t:

Teams at Yale are now exploring the mechanism uncovered here and testing additional AI-generated predictions in other immune contexts.

Not only is there no validation, they have only begun even looking at it.

Again: LLMs can’t make novel ideas. This is PR, and because you’re unfamiliar with how any of it works, you assume MAGIC.

Like every other bullshit PR release of it’s kind, this is simply a model being fed a ton of data and running through thousands of millions of iterative segments testing outcomes of various combinations of things that would take humans years to do. It’s not that it is intelligent or making “discoveries”, it’s just moving really fast.

You feed it 10^2^ combinations of amino acids, and it’s eventually going to find new chains needed for protein folding. The thing you’re missing there is:

  1. all the logic programmed by humans
  2. The data collected and sanitized by humans
  3. The task groups set by humans
  4. The output validated by humans

It’s a tool for moving fast though data, a.k.a. A REALLY FAST SORTING MECHANISM

Nothing at any stage if developed, I outted, or validated by any models, because…they can’t do that.
