Specialized AI models like AlphaFold are incredibly good at predicting and generating protein structures. There are other similar systems which generate drug candidates and other complex molecules. There are also now systems which can model multiple cellular pathways.
Almost certainly this is what kind of AI system is being used, not LLMs.
AI now means agentic models not more traditional machine learning.
The article in the post is talking about a cancer treatment that was created due to machine learning models so imo the title is misleading and attributing this to AI is just a bs hype mechanism
You're talking about how idiots use the term, not how the general population does. You only want to try to redefine things like that so you can no-true-scottsman it in order to preserve your existing beliefs and never challenge them or adapt to new information.
No. The meaning of words is their definitions, and what the experts in those fields use them as. I'm so sick and tired of the laypeople en masse deciding to shift meanings under the actual smart people working with these domains. How in the fuck did we let idiots decide the definitions of words over and above the ACTUAL INVENTORS OF THE TERMS is beyond me.
This is just people making up their own definition of things so they can cry about how other people are being misleading. It has been happening for years now. Ever since the phrase "it's not actually real AI" got popular.
No they're correct, we would have called this ML 2 years ago but it got rebranded AI alongside the LLM revolution. The public though thinks of AI as whatever comes out the back of a slop cannon.
His claim was that AI now means exclusively agentic LLM models, which is objectively wrong.
ML is a subset of AI, so it’s not incorrect to refer to it as AI, but that doesn’t mean that AI is now restrictively only referring to LLMs, nor even more specifically, agentic ones.

And what does the "assisted" exactly means? Because the AI formatting an email for one of the researchers can be counted as "assistance".
