Journals and papers should be obsolete. New results should be entered into an AI system containing the existing body of knowledge on the subject and which can rapidly evaluate whether the new result is consistent with, contradicts or extends existing knowledge. It would also evaluate plausibility, reproduceability, methods and materials, plagiarism, etc.
- lolc 7y agoHaha if that existed the AI could just emulate infinite monkeys on typewriters to create papers it could then filter for the plausible, reproducible ones to publish. Hm, maybe it would have to adversarially train the emulated monkeys into monkey researchers to get better throughput. Seriously though our beloved AI doesn't have reliable object permanence yet. It can't read now and it certainly won't be reading research papers for a while. Be nice, give it some time to grow.
