I did not use the optional pumpkin emulsion. Cut to 3/8”, baked much longer than called for, still came out super soft and yummy

Can generative AI be trusted to draw chemical structures? Not yet, according to two chemists who want to see the community take a tough stance against its use.

The chemistry community should ban drawing chemical structures with generative AI, chemists warn

In 2024, a team of science writers at AAAS ran a long-term experiment to see if ChatGPT could cut it writing news items about scientific research. Here's what they learned. Worth a look. 🧪 #scicomm
