General AI to replace Scientists

Meet The AI Scientist About to Change Research Forever

Computer scientists have automated the entire scientific process using an AI machine that develops hypotheses, tests them in appropriate experiments and writes up the results in a scientific paper.

Now that looks set to change with the unveiling of an "AI Scientist" that performs the entire scientific process, including the write up. Chris Lu, Robert Lange and David Ha at Sakana AI and colleagues have created a machine that develops and tests hypotheses, designs and executes experiments, gathers and interprets data and finally writes this all up in a scientific paper.

In this way, the team's AI Scientist generated hundreds of papers at a cost of around $15 each, significantly less than the $100,000 a human paper is thought to cost in terms of salaries etc. "We find that Claude Sonnet 3.5 consistently produces the highest quality papers, with GPT-4o coming in second," they say.

Hopefully they can replace the govt funded climate change “scientists”

Science died years when half the country including its top scientists claimed they found the cure for the common cold.

Replacing Neil Degrasse's retarded ass might be for the best.

Unbiased studies seemed like a thing of the past. This also seems like something too good to be true. We will be sold our own demise.

"Okay so you graduated with a degree in Engineering from MIT? Great, Feed the AI computer over there and keep it happy or you're fired".

Good. They've been asking for it.

It's also replacing journalists at a great rate. That will teach them for being corporate shills instead of investigative journalists, I have no sympathy.

It's going to replace so many industries.

They've already put bias into their AI, haven't they?

AI is even easier to control than scientists. Humans can be guided through funding, AI is guided by programming.

Science will suddenly publish a new study demonstrating AI is unreliable.
