As someone who truly loves science, the idea of automating the creative parts strikes me at the core as a horrible mistake. Yes, even before AI, we've already tried some automations -- actually some of those I even believe is a bad thing, such as the internet. Most people would disagree no doubt, but I feel like automating science, especially with regard to the more "creative parts" makes it more like an industry, ripping it away from the minds of people. And AI automation is a new level that goes beyond all automations.
I truly hate AI and what it is doing to the world and to me at least, as someone who has loved mathematics and science since my grandma started showing me chemistry experiments when I was about 5 years old, this new level of automation is stealing the magic from human curiosity.
- whamlastxmas 2y agoI think this is looking at it wrong. If AI can do boring science it frees us up to do imaginative and fun science without the constraints of capitalism. You don’t have to worry about your science being valuable enough
- vouaobrasil 2y ago> AI can do boring science it frees us up to do imaginative and fun science without the constraints of capitalism. That is senseless. Capitalism will always control science by its very nature: through science, people create value and trade it for other things.
- 93po 2y agoIf AI has gotten to the point of doing nearly all science for humanity, we are probably close to, if not already at, a post-capitalist state. The implication being there's no real resource scarcity at that point.
- adroniser 2y agoI completely agree this shit is so depressing. When I saw the AlphaProof paper I basically spent 3 days in mourning basically, because their approach was so simple.
