Good post. You put into words a gut feeling I had but didn't have strong evidence for.
Regarding AlphaFold I've had discussions with @Laura Leighton about how some of the main bottlenecks in research right now (apart from funding hurhur) are in labor and physical tasks. There is room for automation but it's mostly mechanical (Laura please correct me if I'm misremembering)
