How did I say that? This is really cool and advancing but calling it "Autonomous Discovery" is very bold claim and needs strong evidence. I don't see it. They could have claimed it differently but they chose those words and that is what I am commenting on.
You are changing what they claim from "Autonomous Discovery" to "Accelerating Scientific Discovery". I agree with the latter.
To me it seems like an exercise in semantics. As per Carl Sagan, you could argue that fully Autonomous Discovery requires that it first "create the universe". I read "Autonomous" there as "working independently without being closely directed", and from my reading, it had passed that bar.
