Best comment and summary of the whole situation
I prefer scientists like our colleague Doug Zonkger, who are willing to put in the work.

In a short time, we’ll have fake AI scientists fabricating fake AI results reviewed by fake AI reviewers. This data will then be text-mined by AI and ultimately delivered to mindless AI consumers.
Finally the scary example. The image of a western blot with a time course experiment, staining a protein of interest, showing the increase of protein over time and a second staining with a control antibody that does not change over time

I love to see the endoplasmic reticulum (ER, cyan) hitchhiking over microtubules (MTs, orange).
Also the membrane dynamics are lovely.

I’m happy to share some plugins I’ve been developping this summer: "Channels and Contrast" and LUTs Manager!
