Yeah, Protein design is absurdly complicated and time consuming. Collaborative computing programs like folding at home have helped a lot but its still like trying to find a grain of sand in a desert. Having a well tuned AI help narrow down what needs additional attention via other computer models or even moving past computer models is a reasonable use of a well tuned specific AI. Not these general purpose LLMs that just tell you what you want to hear.
