Some people are using "AI wins a Nobel price" as the new Turing test. Maybe that is going to happen sooner than they expect. Or maybe the owners of the AI will always claim it on its behalf.

there's no AI here. This is just ML. All deepmind did here was use multiple excellent resources- large numbers of protein sequences, and small numbers of protein structures, to create an approximation function of protein structure, without any of the deep understanding of "why". Interestingly, the technology they used to do this didn't exist 5 years ago!
