alt Hacker NewsThe problem is that eventually, there will be no humans who can follow the results AI will give. That’s the endgame for this tech: to produce knowledge at speeds and quality beyond what we can

In certain, more complex, software engineering domains this almost became true as of today.

Yeah, but then you can use another round of AI to break these things down to crayon level, no?
Or is it just all PFM? (Pure, Fanciful Magic)
Which asks the question of what knowledge is. Can knowledge be super human ? Or is knowledge a human matter ? If so (like i believe), then what those ai labs are doing is far from the end of the story. Because the goal of science is not to produce a certificate of something, but more to produce an explanation that can fit in a human brain, that can be reasoned on, and that can be retargeted. In this sense, producing a million lines proof is not really producing knowledge, even less so doing science.
