A system called Coscientist scours the Internet for instructions, then designs and executes experiments to synthesize molecules.
What does it do when the experiment goes wrong, explodes and fills the lab with toxic chemicals everywhere?
Hello and again welcome to the Aperture Science Computer Aided Enrichment Center. Due to a mandatory scheduled maintenance, the appropriate chamber for this testing sequence is currently unavailable. The Enrichment Center apologizes for the inconvenience and wishes you the best of luck.
Actual real life chemist here. This is not new. We’ve had “chemistry predictors” based on graph theory for decades. All that’s new is that this is AI based. So… potentially less accurate than the current tools.
Is this one step closer to food replicators?
Cool, but it’s gotta be well-trained enough so that people won’t be able to abuse it for making illegal drugs. My guess is that it will be somehow sold to terrorists and will accelerate their malicious activities.
