They’ll all be forced to pump the breaks when subtle errors compound through self reference and fill the internet/destroy the resource they’re extracting from through automation. It’s the same problem that caused the replication crisis. You start with something small, like a department for a new field, a random paper, etc. You explore and hit some interesting valuable knowledge. You share that, and it blows up and makes everyone’s lives vastly and unexpectedly better. So you pour a whole bunch of resources into getting more students, pushing more papers, creating more procedures, and building your little department into a giant machine. It works amazingly for a while, and then you think the machine is what’s generating the value and leave it on autopilot. Researchers that fit the machine remain, those that put more energy into actually exploring rather than fitting the machines criteria for explorer fade away. Knowledge slowly turns to nonsense through self reference as the true value, the researchers lucky enough to stumble on insight, get drowned out and leave.
