"The tool automates a majority of “idea generation” tasks, reallocating scientists to the new task of evaluating model-suggested candidate compounds. In the absence of AI, researchers devote nearly half their time to conceptualizing potential materials. This falls to less than 16% after the tool’s introduction. Meanwhile, time spent assessing candidate materials increases by 74%" So the AI is in charge, and mostly needs a bunch of lab assistants. "Machines should think. People should work." - not a joke any more.
