This. LLM is NOT the tool for a pharma lab - properly trained ML is the right tool. Heck, English is probably not even the right LANGUAGE to use for discussing chemical interactions.

Sam Altman says that he thinks scientific research is a huge opportunity for AI to contribute as it more fully develops and I think he’s right.
Since I’m not a scientific researcher, I have no idea if he’s just blowing smoke but I think it’s reasonable to think of a purpose-built system which has an LLM component being used by a team to do something useful.
