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".

    • I was poking fun at evolarjun and epihelix for "hallucinating" that this was just a marketing whitepaper (they did publish a pre-print) and that the preprint was "so embarrassing" (you said that the authors are actually experts). It kind of seemed like they had some opinion about AI and this paper, and wishfully concluded things that were not true to support their opinion.
