The problem with synthetic chemists using LLMs blindly is one of safety. Get it wrong once & your lab could burn down. Hallucinations are not compatible with chemical synthesis.

Current AI technology is nothing more than a data analysis technique. To insert a ghost into the AI machine is kinda cute but it’s just a ghost. A ghost of human reasoning. Today’s ghost in the machine is human made.

Making digital chemistry truly universal for chemputation (digital control of chemsitry) required a new approach to hardware, wetware, & software with the development of XDL. science.org/doi/10.1126/sc… and now the theory showing universality is done. arxiv.org/abs/2408.09171

In 2012 I had a dream of universal digital chemistry for chemputation inspired by 3D printing technology. By 2016 we made a key advance. beilstein-journals.org/bjoc/articles/… We went from a vision to a universal code for organic synthesis - in this case making Ibuprofen in a hacked 3D printer.

Our new Chemifarm comprises two facilities - engineering to build the robots & facilities to run the robots to turn code into molecules. It’s high value manufacturing all the way down! The rate of innovation here is staggering.
