The speed is nuts, but I keep the human filter on, AI happily flags correlations that look cool but are just noise. For me, the real barrier is the “black‑box” part: you get a lead but have no idea why it’s promising, and that’s a tough jump from bench to human. So AI could help spot candidates faster, but researchers will still need the old‑school rigor an
