[ExI] ‘The game has changed.’ AI triumphs at solving protein structures

[Adrian Tymes]

It's an example of a problem that lots of highly-trained high-resources
humans were unable to solve prior to applying AI.

That's not 100% proof that they could never have solved it on their own,
but it may be as close as will ever be gotten now that the problem has been
(mostly) solved.
