If a developer codes up an AI to scour the web, write an article, and submit it to a scientific journal without letting the developer see the article, is the developer doing science?
If someone trains a translation model between languages they don't know, is that someone a translator?
I guess the users of said model would be "translators" as they would be doing the translation (without necessarily knowing the languages either).
- reillyse 4y agounsure if anyone is "doing science". Doing science is applying the scientific method. Making conjectures, deriving predictions from the hypotheses as logical consequences, and then carrying out experiments or empirical observations based on those predictions. Not sure AI is up to that, and it's debatable if it'll ever be able to make and test conjectures. There is a difference between symbol manipulation (like outputting text) and actual conjecture.
