Not really. These same techniques fall flat on their face when applied to most physics and chemistry problems. All of academia has already been doing ML4Science for the last 8 years. God knows how many billions have been spent.
The only two major highlights are weather modeling and folded protein backbone prediction.
Mostly everything else, either lacks enough data, or there are contraits on the size of the foundational models that render them impractical or they just fail to generalize.
