The first new antibiotic in 60 years? Bullshit. What, does the author never read? A group at my local university published on a new class of antibiotics within the last 5 years and they are far from the only ones to do so in the world.

This is just "look, AI is shiny and will fix everything," while ignoring reality...again.
