The linked article is not about AlphaFold itself, but about researchers verifying AlphaFold's predictions. So the article directly addresses your question. Unfortunately HN only shows the first half of the headline.
> Shoichet agrees that AlphaFold predictions are not universally useful. “There were a lot of models that we didn’t even try because we thought they were so bad,” he says.
