No, that’s just plain wrong. Alphafold is not an llm, it is not replacing any jobs. Nobody’s job was folding proteins in every conceivable way.

Nothing like that is happening with generative ai, and the continued insistence from ai bros that talking to a chatbot should also count as science is driving me up a wall.
