AlphaFold is really impressive and made scientific advancements and discoveries in the field of protein folding, and is now even expanding into more molecules and biology, but it was explicitly trained to do just that. You're not going to see AlphaFold write compelling science fiction. We can build models that are specifically trained and fine tuned on scientific fields to make advancements in them, but that's different from what I'm talking about, which is building a model that forms its own hypothesis, designs its own experiments, and contributes to the wide and deep wealth of knowledge that, crucially, goes well beyond the scope of its training data. |

Yes? But not many biology PhDs do that either.

A few weeks ago we saw LLMs do the first half of that. I think AlphaFold demonstrates the last.
Don't get me wrong, I trust the person who told me these are not good papers, but it does do those things: https://sakana.ai/ai-scientist/
