But there have been quite a few scientific papers that have used discoveries from AlphaFold already. There have been many scientists who have been stuck for years, who are suddenly past their previous bottlenecks. What gives you the impression that it hasn't helped us?
I am not saying that Alpha Fold won't help scientists publish papers. I am just skeptical (though still hopeful) of it doing anything to improve the human condition by actually making human existence better. Publishing papers can be of neutral or negative utility in that realm.
