What????

We knew that LolCDE was a vulnerability to e coli since well before 2016 and knew inhibitors of the complex, globomycin being one of them, which they knew about since 1978

Is enterololin just another from of globomycin?

Is AI smart or are scientists just getting dumber?

AI just picked up these references and gave an answer. Scientists in this field should have read these papers instead of relying on AI.
From what I understand they used a diffusion model (diffdock) to predict the mechanism. These types of models are not LLMs that need to be trained on text
There are probably 37,392 papers on this. So your "should" is probably just impossible for humans.
This is such a ridiculous argument. They could have read five papers, couldn’t they?
Picking up five needles is trivial. Picking up five needles in 50000 haystacks is difficult.
How do they know which five papers to read?
Yes.
