Do you not know the difference between an automated process and machine learning?

Yes? Machine learning has been huge for protein folding and not because anyone is stupid, it’s because it’s a task uniquely suited for machine learning, of which there are many. But none of that is what this AI bubble is really about, and even though I find the underlining math and technology fascinating, I share the disdain for how the bulk of it is currently being used.

The thing with being cocky is, if you are wrong it makes you look like an even bigger asshole en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AlphaFold The program uses a form of attention network, a deep learning technique that focuses on having the AI identify parts of a larger problem, then piece it together to obtain the overall solution.
