    Sounds like they built a neural network model and used deep learning to predict what molecules would be effective against drug-resistant bacteria. “AI” as a headline needs to be thrown out the window. We really need to start calling this technology what it is, lest people continue to think this was done by a large language model or a gpt.

      I completely agree regarding AI being plastered on every piece of software tech. It is dumb and it makes people so much ND dumb and this is a hill I will absolutely die on.
