I think they meant six scientists from "Generate Biomedicines" (the company)

Either that or six degenerate scientists. Both options work just fine

I think the dividing line between skilled and unskilled use of AI is 'machine, do magic' vs 'machine, do x, y and Z, thus and so, avoid i, j, k which knowledge is the fruit of bitter experience.' Being able to articulate what matters and why is the ultimate high level language.

It's like saying "Cisco Developer" even though the company is Cisco Systems

The company is called Generate Biomedicines, and they reference it in short as Generate.
