> Yeah but what if we start seeing only using this new awesome tool?

Like telescopes?

Real astronomers just squint real hard at the sky

I can't tell if you're agreeing with my 'poibt' or disagreeing.

But yes, like telescopes. Or microscopes. Those still bind us to using our built in sensors that we 'trust'.

Then we obviously get into radio telescopes, or down to electron microscopes, etc and we start having to believe in the tech to get our new found understandings.

My mental hesitation lay in trusting AI to get to that level of belief -- if/when that happens, what do we really know or trust?

We've been using electron scanning microscopes, radio telescopes, etc for much much longer than we've been using "AI" in them.

I'm really not sure what you're getting at here, but you definitely seem to be confusing generative AI here. What's being discussed here is not generative AI. It's just a very refined algo searching for patterns in images. This is not "artist conception" type of content like the image of the black hole. So until you accept the difference, you're just spinning your wheels
