To be fair, there are some ways to use "AI" in biomedical research, although they used it before the recent "AI" boom. Things like specialized models for one use case, etc. The idea is to get the model to "think" like a protein, not like a human.

But then again, I'm not in the field and my only information is from an interview of a human geneticist about AI use.

True, they are probably not even transformers, but they are also trained with gradient descent.
