Imagine we had this technology 20 years ago and we switched to fully automated web design. I bet all web design would still be deeply nested tables. I doubt that something like React, Vue, Svelte would exist.
Probably one of my favourite comments. Thanks.
My version: Can an auto AI create cumulative knowledge (the core of the scientific method)?
My take is no. You can use it to identify gaps (opportunities) in research or to summarise research, but can it actually come up with a novel and consistent theory?
