Suggesting "maybe try this known inhibitor in other cell lines" isn't exactly novel information though. It'd be more impressive and useful if it hadn't had any published information about working as a cancer inhibitor before. People are blasé about it because it's not really beating the allegations that it's just a very fancy parrot when the highlight of it's achievements is to say try this known inhibitor with these other cell lines, decent odds that the future work sections of papers on the drug already suggested trying on other lines too...

A couple years ago even suggesting that a computer could propose anything at all was sci-fi. Today a computer read the whole internet, suggested a place to look at and experiments to perform and… ‘not impressive enough’. Oof.

Or imagine this one - computer maps the whole world, suggests a route how to get to any destination?!

You just described a basic search engine.

LLM is kind of a search engine for language

Preposterous- cavemen had no language but they could reason, think and learn.

A child learns how to eat solid food and how to walk. That a square peg fits into a square hole. This has nothing to do with language.

people who deaf and mute and cannot read can still reason and solve problems.

big if true

It's one of those things that's basically impossible to study because language leaves no signs until you get to writing.

People are facing existential dread that the knowledge they worked years for is possibly about to become worth a $20 monthly subscription. People will downplay it for years no matter what.

You just described a library card.
