I just looked at it. I really hope they're not thinking of sending that to an actual bioinformatics, computational biology or molecular biology journal! So embarrassing...
(I love how Anthropic boast about building a lab, but don't seem to realise that you have to test your hypothesis in the lab! Right now, all their "spectacular" assertions are untested and unproven.)
I realise that this will only improve from here, but gods Anthropic has no idea about the biological sciences right now.
Um. Take a look at the authors. Every single one of them is an expert in this field. They did test this in a lab.
If you want to complain about things like this, it really helps to be specific. Given the author list, it's unlikely they made any truly spectacular errors (and also possible the system they studied is not interesting).
This comment chain is depressing. People who hallucinated things they really wanted to be true. Guess it’s not a uniquely AI problem.
Can you elaborate on what you're thinking? I don't see any support for this being a hallucaination; from what I can see, it's a pretty typical "early biological discovery".
