    Yeah, because LLMs have shown they understand language and aren’t bullshitting us. /s

    Like I get this might generate new leads to explore, but to say it’s a virtual cell as if the model is somehow self-consistent is malpractice.

        ty. Comments are angry that this was posted, but it was worth reading.

        The tldr of link to AI is that AI was useful in modeling proteins, and LLM predictivity has been used to predict DNA sequences. Fine, “closer” is clickbaity, but article gives overview of potential, and approaches focused on getting there.
