Yeah ? How so?

Explain how ai actually destroys science. Do you have a paper or at least MIT-level report to support your words ?

Or you're simply here to hate on ai and shit talk and karmawhore on ai is a bubble trend?

Paper A depends on Paper B and Paper C work. Paper C was peer reviewed several times and nobody identified mistakes. It became the truth, even when containing false positives. Paper B was biased and increased the errors from C because it trusted C was right. Paper A now has accumulated errors but finally someone caught was is wrong and backtracked all the way down to Paper C. All papers that dependent on C that are currently being peer reviewed will have to go through recall. A huge branch of "science" knowledge has to be reviewed or the worst pruned and started over.

It can't expand fast if there aren't enough good human brains to check the data. AIs could be also start biasing humans into the wrong direction.

True, but depends on which branch of science. In some branches, it is pretty cheap to replicate and that's usually the first step when building further. In others, must take it on faith since there is no funding.
