    Nah, Alphafold came out at about the same time (actually a little after) AI image generation. They all came out together because the same hand full of people were working on them. They’re also all very similar algorithms; though, I don’t know where you want to draw the line between AI and machine learning – those are just two terms for the same thing to me.

      So when I talk about LLM, I mean in first line ChatGPT since it was the big event bringing LLMs to the public.

      Alphafolds first version came out in 2018, ChatGPT was only released in 2022. I don’t know where AI image generation comes into this, but that wasn’t my point anyway.

        Idk, there was a lot of hype about image generation at about the same time there was hype about Alphafold, and I bought a new computer immediately for Alphafold. My Amazon history says 2023, so 2022 might be about right. I can tell you the hype for Alphafold wasn’t until after COVID regardless of when the first version might have technically come out.
