It won’t help you with technical details of setting up an insulin production pipeline because that’s unsafe; apparently this could be hijacked for bioweapons production. Indeed this is the problem for a huge swath of technical protocol planning; the safety restraints are kind of ridiculous. The future job prospects for chemical engineering and biotechnology seem fairly secure.

On the other hand, it will teach you how to set up your own hardware at scale and run your own open source model on it and fine tune it with the relevant data needed to run your own biotech-pharmaceutical corporation (which will need licensing and legal, I doubt I trust it with too much legal advice though, as I would have no idea when it was hallucinating). That’s impressive, but every stage needs to be double checked so you don’t run some foolish command it suggests that bricks everything.

The marketing hype is the most annoying thing about the commercial LLM industry though.
