I'm an organic chemist and I oversee the manufacture of pharmaceuticals for a living. I have never used AI (knowingly) for anything, so to dip my toe in I asked Google Gemini how one would synthesize ibuprofen. The answer Gemini provided was so wrong that I would have fired Gemini if it were one of my reports.

@sfleetucker There have been a few dairy farm workers that have tested positive for avian flu. Zoonotic yes, as it is being transmitted from exposure to dairy cows.
