You need a reward system or game. There are lots of professions and areas/topics of debate where one can just make up convincing nonsense. In a competitive area or one with quality feedback there is no need for the blabbering of fuzzy humans. One of my 1000 business plans I will never execute is to build an automated chemistry lab where one can order different ingredients to be subjected to different processes, treatments and measurements. The researcher/customer would have no influence on the input or output and no humans in the building. I'm clueless about the scale to have a positive cost benefit analysis but if it can be good enough to throw things at the wall and see what sticks it seems an AI could be useful to pick the best ways to blow up the lab.
