If you’re wondering why Science would publish this, it’s because they hired a writer who’s also a flunky for the AI industry.
If you’re wondering why Science would let a flunky for the AI industry cover AI… that’s a great question.

Can the new cutting-edge AI models feel pain? They at least behave as if they do, according to a recent study.
The work, which has not been peer reviewed, has divided #AI researchers. https://scim.ag/4hHU6BA

Assume AI training for K-12 is a good idea. Schiff's bill, the LIFT AI Act, is a grant program for the National Science Foundation. The NSF has no director. The nominee is a Thiel acolyte with no science degrees. Trump just fired the entire Board that oversees NSF.
No. Absolutely not.
No. Absolutely not.
AI is reshaping industries and our economy, and it’s crucial that young people and our workforce are equipped to succeed in this landscape.
Proud to introduce a bipartisan bill with Sen. Rounds to ensure students and educators have the resources they need to harness the power of AI.

Looking forward to the era of AI social science: the data is AI-generated, the paper is written by AI, the paper is reviewed by AI, and summarized for students and researchers by AI.
“Instead of paying humans to join focus groups and complete surveys, Aaru uses thousands of AI agents, or bots, to simulate human responses. It feeds demographic and psychographic information into its models to create human profiles that match clients’ needs…”
The Billion-Dollar AI Startup That Was Founded by Teenagers
The team behind Aaru is attracting brands including McDonald’s and EY by betting AI bots can predict human behavior better than humans can.

Using AI to write science explainers is bad for SO MANY REASONS relating to accuracy and content theft but also because effective science communication is not about just arranging information on a page, but allowing the science to create a connection between people, the basis of which is trust

There are many uses for AI in science - modeling, data analysis, certain diagnostics - none of those are LLMs and frankly not even really “AI” as we’ve come to know it at all and TBH we need a different name for this kind of “AI” so the science stuff can stop getting dragged into this argument.
