I’m fairly skeptical about AI hype, but there are probably plenty of applications of the tech for use in scientific discovery. Just not the “Albert Einstein bot” or whatever that gives you fully formed scientific theories. More like tools to search large spaces for theories/theorems that seem likely that can then be independently verified. As I understand it we’ve been using AI in space exploration/astronomy for a long time to search data generated from telescopes I can imagine there are analogous uses for chatGPT style solutions.
