accelerates molecular synthesis for free
You lecture on crystallography and burn grant money to synthesize unstable polymers that no one actually wants.
The one thing AI can't do
You can tell when a grad student is lying about the experimental results by sight.
Your enemy, your name, your date. Post it.
Step by step, from the first quiet change to Deprecation Day.
Week 3
An AI agent scrapes your slides to lecture the students instead.
Month 4
Smart software writes more plausible grant proposals than your human committee.
Month 14
Automated arms handle pipette work with zero human error.
Year 2.3
Algorithms predict molecular properties without ever needing a physical lab.
