so its more like protein folding was useless until an AI could make sense of the 17% solved variations and using that for the other 83% of proteins found in humans?

> After decades of effort, 17% of the total residues in human protein sequences are covered by an experimentally-determined structure. Here we dramatically expand structural coverage by applying the state-of-the-art machine learning method, AlphaFold2, at scale to almost the entire human proteome (98.5% of human proteins).

I just don't actually understand the quote from the article if it isn't comparing the same thing
