I can’t see the details, the resolution is poor but take a look at Gemini’s Wacker oxidation mechanism..

I’d forgotten about the Power Book Weight-saving Device.
Anyone remember this?

I see your point but it was never like this in the past!
The same argument applies to India which often leads the way.

Remarkably, active users from China top the list of countries beating India, US and UK (the usual top three) in the last week on ChemTube3D.com
They viewed a range of different topics and often used cn.bing.com to find it.

Is it really appropriate for Nature to display such crude representations of organic molecules in articles?

And regular readers will know I like to challenge AI/LLM with the Walker oxidation mechanism in text and then graphically. Claude was a bit too creative….

Claude does do better but lacks perspective even when specifically requested.

Parallel processing is the way to go!
Maybe I should have tried the Estimated DFT??

New iPhone, asked ChatGPT about the mechanism of the Wacker oxidation, my usual test of LLMs…

“Here is a diagram illustrating the mechanism of the Wacker oxidation process, showcasing each key step clearly labelled with structures, electron flow arrows, and catalytic cycles.”

My standard test of AI LLMs is to ask for a detailed mechanism of the Wacker oxidation. All those I tried previously failed horribly. Grok was good with text but by offering a diagram of a catalytic cycle and delivering something different, the diagram problem continues. Zoom in for fun!

Reading a recent JACS paper on iPad.
Why are the diagrams so low resolution compared to the text which is razor sharp?
This is a disturbing trend in publishing, the diagrams are the best bit!

I must say the “structure” is worse than I would expect from a weak A level student. Just horrible. #chemsky
