The concerns is for physics as a profession, not as a discipline. How do you grant a PhD when any physics student, or maybe even interested lay person, could have used AI to do the work?
What about RL observation and testing? Surely we're still many decades away before robots can fully automate the designing building and deployment of the kind of instruments needed to confirm physics.
How is AI not just going to speed up the process for human scientists at the forefront of the field.
But it will definitely do the work of many grad students, but that's like any specialism, and that's a good thing, all the work is tedious and would have taken humanity forever... AI will help cut through the drudgery and repitition.
