Regardless of the valuable comment, this is a great analogy of how AI works.

New @Nature
The largest study of impact of dietary restriction (DR) in ~1,000 mice with diverse genetic background for health and lifespan
https://t.co/aNXhNxnc5A
—40% caloric restriction had the most lifespan expansion effect but suppressed immune response and loss of lean muscle mass
—a divergence of health and longevity effects of DR
—"genetic background proved to be the more important factor in determining lifespan."

[The Nobel Prize @NobelPrize]

The 2024 #NobelPrize laureates in chemistry Demis Hassabis and John Jumper have successfully utilised artificial intelligence to predict the structure of almost all known proteins.

In 2020, Hassabis and Jumper presented an AI model called AlphaFold2. With its help, they have been able to predict the structure of virtually all the 200 million proteins that researchers have identified. Since their breakthrough, AlphaFold2 has been used by more than two million people from 190 countries. Among a myriad of scientific applications, researchers can now better understand antibiotic resistance and create images of enzymes that can decompose plastic.
