That sounds good enough for a start, considering you can massively parallelize the AI co-scientist workflow, compared to the timescale and physical scale it would take to do the same thing with human high school sophomores.
And every now and then, you get something exciting and really beneficial coming from even inexperienced people, so if you can increase the frequency of that, that sounds good too.
We don't need an army of high school sophomores, unless they are in the lab pipetting. The expensive part of drug discovery is not the ideation phase, it is the time and labor spent running experiments and synthesizing analogues.
