    Although, most people aren’t talking about Alphafold when they’re talking about AI. They’re usually specifically referring to the generative transformer models that are currently all the rage.

    I doubt anyone would care too much about a linear regression model, or multi-layer peceptron , for example.

      I’m pretty sure a lot of them don’t know the difference or understand how mind breaking it is that some of these achievements are happening. Of course alpha fold is old news and the solutions to the Erods problems is something that should be raising eyebrows. These models are fundamentally just math and a model that’s better than humans at math can theoretically design a stronger model than us.
