For humans, this is science. It's hard, time-consuming, often expensive and limited, involves ethics and consent, and gets a lot of wrong answers anyway. So I guess we need to get to the point where you give an AI a prompt without a known answer, and instead of confidently spewing bullshit, it can propose a research study, get it funded, find subjects, and complete the study. Of course, there are easy forms of "science." I just asked it "Is it cloudy in Dallas?" It answered: It can be cloudy in Dallas. The city experiences both sunny and cloudy days throughout the year. That is true, but not an answer. It is cloudy and I can conduct the very simple experiment of looking at the sky to get that answer.
