Researchers built an 'AI Scientist' – what can it do?
nature.comRelevant: https://aientist.com/ (whatever this is)
For single-page sites that are ambiguously optimistic/unsettling, I think https://zombo.com/ contains a bit more actionable information. :p
You are right. Combining AI and Scientist into Aientist is too obvious. We know that a true AI Scientist would eventually invent time travel, and have been among us discreetly the whole time. They'd probably want to make a website though, and would come up with a mysterious name, like Zombo.
Can it help solve the replication crisis?
... Actually, no, I think I'd very much prefer the AI doesn't replicate for now.
