    Not really what I’m saying. More along the lines of: poison is bad to drink, but great for killing weed.

    As for LLMs and sciences (and most fields): “drinking poison” -> “treating LLM output as factual”. “killing weed” -> “some otherwise mundane language transformation that you verify the correctness of”.

      poison is bad to drink, but great for killing weed.

      But that’s not what you said, nor is it the argument you’re making

      The pursuit of science by humanity has made it this far for thousands of years. And has done so quite successfully without AI poisoning that pursuit. You have yet to make the argument that the poison of AI is in any way helpful.

      Because you can’t. Because it isn’t.

      Ignore the evidence at your own peril. I will not.
