Keep this one in your back pocket for anyone who thinks the field is all chatbots and grift. AlphaFold cracked a fifty-year-old problem in biology, predicting the shapes of proteins, and it's already speeding up real medicine. This is what "AI is a tool" actually looks like: pointed at a hard problem, by people who understand the problem, doing something genuinely useful. The antidote to the doom feed, with receipts.
