~~AI~~ Intelligent Humans Who Programmed a Computer Discover New Material That Could Slash Lithium Use in Batteries
It's not like they told an AI "Go find a cool new battery material". This was a targeted, human-led endeavour that used the same computational techniques that scientists have been using for decades. This headline is like saying "Hammer Builds New House". It wasn't the hammer. The hammer isn't intelligent enough to do anything. Intelligent humans merely used it as a tool.
