Re: "the "AI" won't work"
Yes. Of course it won't. None of it does. That should be a given. Criticising the "AI" as not working in most cases misses the point and detracts from the larger problems of power accumulation, labor deskilling, wealth extraction, etc. I feel like "it won't work" increasingly falls in the category of "the computers aren't thinking" as sort of true but orthogonal criticism.
Another way of saying it is that even if it did work it would be extremely bad to replace all human scientists with a gigantic for-profit AI farm
