Dont know how many times I had to say “hey you know how llms can string the wrong words together (‘hallucinate’ ugh) because it is autocomplete? Alphafold does the same shit with protein structures” Thinking you can get real analysis out of it is stupid
Dan McQuillanAlphaFold was always bait-and-switch; now Google confirms it. A hyper-narrow bioinformatrics model with actual science bolted on whose guesses can be experimentally checked was never a licence for socially-applied slop at scale, but it's done its job. Effort transferred to LLMs.
