And so I think that it's kind of hard to imagine a scenario when there's not scientists as the consumers of science.
And so I think if they're gonna be consumers of science, there also gonna be some of the producers who are involved in the and the process by itself.
There's a great short story um by um Ted Chang, I think in like two thousand three or something.
Okay.
And it's about like, well, at first scientists were displaced and they became like the uh interpreters of like what the AI scientists are doing.
Like the scientists read the AI scientists like papers and then, you know, translate them for whatever popular science or something.
Yeah.
And then after that, like they couldn't read the papers anymore and so they were left behind and so they had nothing to do and they just sat around and
But the problem is that
Science is like, you know, you you have to translate science to make
any impact, like science cannot exist by itself.
I do agree there's like engineering can exist by itself.
Like if you give some kind of system a goal of like making me a material that I can make a space elevator out of, you could be not participating in the beginning, the process or the middle of the process and you just come by the end and be like, okay, follow this recipe.
Like science of like what's the origin of life?
Or like is there water on another planet?

hitting human eyes and human brains at some point.
So I think a human has to be involved in the process.
Why does a human have to be involved?
