Indeed, science is a process of discovery and adjusting goals and expectations. It is not a mountain to be summited. It is highly telling that the LLM boosters do not understand this. Those with a genuine interest in pushing forward our understanding of cognition do.
They believe that once they reach this summit everything else will be trivial problems that can be posed to the almighty AI. It's not that they don't understand the process, it's that they think AI is going to disrupt that process.
They literally believe that the AI will supersede the scientific process. It's crypto shit all over again.
