The snythesizable materials is another paper by deepmind not relying on LLMs and unrelated to this one. The article's author briefly mentions one of the other two findings without providing any sources to support the claim that they aren’t novel/useful?

If it helps scientists find answers faster, I don’t see the problem—especially when the alternative is sifting through Google or endless research papers.
