It's not like bic pens. It's a new technique they couldn't do before that helped crack the mystery.

Also the title is "AI Helps..." not "AI Discovers" so that's kind of a strawman. I don't think anyone is denying the humans did great work. Maybe it's more like Joe Boggs uses the Hubble telescope to find a new galaxy and moaning because the telescope gets a mention.

I'm quite enthusiastic about the AI bit. My grandad died with alzheimer's 50 years ago. My sister is due to die of als in a couple of years. Both areas have been kind of stuck for decades. I'm hoping the AI modeling allows some breakthroughs.
