Great; so this is all public domain knowledge since it was created with AI according to current law, right?

Personally I think all medicine should be public domain
Everything should.
Medicine. Internet. Waste disposal.
All utilities, phone, electricity, sewage, road and rail.
But actually looking at these, pretty much all protocols and standards are already open.
Yeah, so the actual law is that if you didn't do any work and just gave ChatGPT or Midjourney a prompt and it shat out a picture and then brag to the copyright office in your application that you didn't do diddly squat, the work effectively had no human authors. If, instead, you build a new machine learning model, tune it for your specific problem, analyze the results, and furthermore, break new ground understanding how it solved your problem, and then you write the paper, in fact, you have tons of ownership over the work.
The fact people can't tell the difference between the two and are actually upvoting you kind of says a lot about how little most people understand this stuff.
I think those rulings have only applied to creative works. We'll see.
This 100% is classified as a creative work. That's why drugs are able to be patented in the first place.
Depends, what was the training set / knowledge base?
A key innovation of the new study is that the researchers were also able to figure out what kinds of information the deep-learning model was using to make its antibiotic potency predictions. This knowledge could help researchers to design additional drugs that might work even better than the ones identified by the model.
That is awesome. I wonder if the techniques that they have used to expose the machine learning “black box” process can be applied to other models - from my understanding of it, that would be pretty big news in and of itself.
Hope so, that's the big leap forward with machine learning IMO.
So what, we are learning what caused AI to come to a conclusion?
With the defeat of the super bugs, I for one welcome the super super bugs.
Exterminate all rational thought. That's the conclusion I've come to.
Great. Now lock it away and require CDC approval for each dose. We may just get out of this alive.
Just kidding, nobody gets out of life alive.
Decade tops.
I guess all the people solely cheering for this aren't aware of the damage we've been doing to ourselves with antibiotics:
Resistance may already be a solved problem: https://humanmicrobiome.info/antibiotics/#fmt-to-counter-antibiotic-resistance
Interesting. Who is the seemingly random person posting on a forum about human biomes? Do you have a peer reviewed paper on it?
It says who they are in their signature. And a plethora of peer-reviewed papers are cited.
Would you prefer to live in a world without antibiotics?
No but people should really stop abusing OTC antibiotics like Neosporin. You don't have to put it on every wound.
Yes but there's no reason to snark about a new class of antibiotics unless you think they shouldn't be used at all.
I tend to have wounds scab into the dressing which sucks because it rips out when you change it. Which is why I got vitamin E gel for those times I don't need an antibiotics. The capsules are also more convenient to carry around than a tube and take virtually no space in a bag/kit.
Great!
