It simply continues, doing more!
Actual real life chemist here. This is not new. We’ve had “chemistry predictors” based on graph theory for decades. All that’s new is that this is AI based. So… potentially less accurate than the current tools.
Is this one step closer to food replicators?
Cool, but it’s gotta be well-trained enough so that people won’t be able to abuse it for making illegal drugs. My guess is that it will be somehow sold to terrorists and will accelerate their malicious activities.
