Before the recent AI boom, I was mystified by the possibility of AI and emulating humans (in no small part thanks to works of fiction showing AI powered androids). Then I created and trained some neural networks. Smaller ones, doing much

If there is a good library for it within the domain, ideally at some point the AI will suggest it. Can't wait until the AI writes it own library it will reference in future answers.

Yes, there is such an implicit caveat on all of science. Science at its core runs on a repeated process of collect some data, explain it, collect some more data, explain it as well, and keep repeating forever. The scientific model you are
