Arguably. Maybe.

My understanding is the predictions of alpha fold are always verified with the slower, more accurate process of the predictions from alpha fold showed something promising.

Its main use was to help identify directions to further investigate. Not to blindly take the protein structure it predicted.

So there might be initial bias in terms of the how possibilities are narrowed, but you can certainly use it to do real science.
