“I think AI is very fast computing that draws on all the sources of the Internet. I seriously doubt it is any form of “intelligence”.”
you’re correct; so-called AI is just a search engine with a more sophisticated means of output, and like all data processing software, it’s subject to the garbage-in-garbage-out-rule, AND like everything on the net, the bias dials are controlled by the fascist left, and they turn the bias dial to eleven in the direction of fascist leftism ...
it’s therefore very doubtful that so-called AI can come up with anything that hasn’t already been thought up and pre-recorded by actual humans or pre-recorded by other data processing output from other software programmed by actual human ...
claims of AI speeding up research are nothing more than the usual ability of pretty much any special-purpose software designed to detect patterns by sifting through large amounts of specialized data, something humans COULD do if there was enough of them and they had enough time ...
remember: we landed people on the moon in 1969 with equipment and trajectories designed, manufactured and launched with little more than slide rules and multitudes of manual draftsmen ... the first TI and HP scientific calculators had yet to be invented in 1969 ... and yes, there was an itty-bitty discrete-component, hand-built computer onboard the Apollo equipment to handle the complex real-time guidance and stabilization tasks, but that too was designed without the help of CAD ...
AlphaFold accelerates artificial intelligence powered drug discovery: efficient discovery of a novel CDK20 small molecule inhibitor†
AlphaFold computer program predicted protein structures for the whole human genome, which has been considered a remarkable breakthrough in both AI applications and structural biology.

The PC age brought us designer drugs.
AI will be bringing us endless synthetic opioids.
