Short course on Fe-based, bioinspired oxidations by Ebbe Nordlander from @lunduniversity.bsky.social

The chemistry community should ban drawing chemical structures with generative AI, chemists warn AIs like Microsoft's Copilot, Google's Gemini and OpenAI's ChatGPT still make serious errors rendering structural formulae

Despite their sleek appearance, Audrey Moores found that AI generated chemical structures on second glance were consistently incorrect, despite multiple rounds of prompt engineering.

Journal Impact Nonsense

No matter how hard you try, you simply cannot guess the journal withe the highest “impact factor” in organic chemistry last year. Really. Nor will you guess many of the other “winners”:

Happy to share our #OpenAccess latest contribution on Co4O4 cubanes as water oxidation catalysts pubs.rsc.org/en/content/a...

It still can't electron push - here are some of it's attempts at peracid epoxidation.

The text description of the mechanism is not bad, but not perfect. Seems unable to connect that to images

I've had a quick test and so far the issue around drawing molecules and things like bonding diagrams etc remains.

AI is impressive but where chemistry is concerned, it struggles in the most essential aspects.

Scientific institutions have a long history of anticipatory obedience Societies should learn from this and speak up to support inclusion
