    it's useless hype, "ai could do x one day" is speculation at best

    DeepMind’s AlphaFold solved the decades-old protein folding problem, and its results are already being used in drug and vaccine development.

    is this what the article talks about?

    CRISPR is the tool that lets us precisely edit genes in DNA, which contain the instructions for making proteins. AlphaFold is the AI tool that helped us understand what those edits actually do. It’s the 3D shape of the protein that determines its function - without understanding protein folding, gene editing would be like changing code in a language you don’t fully understand and just hoping it works.

    so while not the same, it's a fairly similar field, it is a safe to assume that similar tools can be used. not yet though, the tool is not ready.
    why is there a study for this? other than hype - for "ai", which this arguably isn't

    It says AI in the title. That's all information they need. Most people on social media don't think - they react.

    No I doesn't.

    The problem is the term AI has become so broadly used that it's become meaningless. There is a popular quote about how the quota doesn't want AI to replace artistic jobs, as if it will. As if generative AI and large language models and projects like this are the same.

    When the bubble bursts, (please let it be soon) we're still going to have all of the science AIs because those are actually useful. What we don't need is AI girlfriends.

    AI-powered

    Yes it does.

    Yes I know the title has the word AI powered in it. I never claimed otherwise.

    If you're going to quote some text quote the actual text because you'll notice that you're changing it.

    I didn't say "no it doesn't" I said "no I doesn't" which is a different sentence.

    Now that is some bullshit if I've ever seen it. Take the loss bro.

    Just read the actual quote it doesn't say what he says it says and you'll notice that no point have I ever edited it.

    They misquoted me because they didn't read the quote properly and then doubled down on it. Meanwhile you are now arguing about it despite the fact that it is demonstrably evident that you are wrong

    The Futurama quote is "No I'm doesn't" and doesn't make any sense in this context even if it was properly transcribed.

    Bro, either you are being insanely unclear, in which case it's still on you, or you are lying to save face.

    There is not one person that thought you meant some obscure Futurama quote spealt "No I'm doesn't" instead of the obvious "No it doesn't". We don't live in your head, you are communicating terribly and trying to spin it on everybody else. I mean, thinking most people even know Futurama enough to spot the quote even if it was properly written is a HUGE ask.

    I'm not trying to be overly harsh here but this is a bit ridiculous, sorry.

    I make three claims and your response only fits one of them.

    It says AI in the title.

    No it doesn't.

    That’s all information they need.

    No it doesn't.

    Most people on social media don’t think - they react.

    No it doesn't.
