The improvement and the recent pace of them is encouraging. However, LLMs will hit limits. We also need more work on other approaches to AI. I will be really excited when I see AI doing useful and groundbreaking biological research, especially figuring out how to prevent aging and all its concomitant diseases.

The question of limits (hitting a data wall?) vs opportunities for innovation (AI reasoning is another dimension of possible scaling / improvement) is interesting. I have some discussion on it in the follow-up articles in this series. I agree w you on biological research, that's one area where AI could really have positive impact and accelerate science, due to its complexity.
