Honest question - how is that not true of those past researchers?
IE, they...
- Start with the context window of prior researchers.
- Set a goal or research direction.
- Engage in chain of thought with occasional reality-testing.
- Generate an output artifact, reviewable by those with appropriate expertise, to allow consensus reality to accept or reject their work.
AI sceptics are on a trajectory towards philosophy.
The difference is that human researchers have agency--for better or for worse.
