That is very interesting that something as powerful as AI can't seem to make out chemistry that is just the structure of it. I think this shows chemistry is more of an art than before.

It is surprising that it's so bad at it. I think it could probably get much better if trained on specific chemical structure material though, I suspect it's so bad just because it's drawing on anything, correct structure drawing or not, to create the images.

Still better than these 'chemical structures' published on BBC that one time: https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/newsbeat-40774580

Oooff, those are painful to look at. Though to be fair, still a step ahead of the AI, which can’t generate even remotely correct structures even if you ask it for a specific compound. I tried with several examples and all I got was some very vague and incorrect attempted 3D models returned.
