Will we have AIs doing an increasing amount of the research, theory and even publication, with human scientists increasingly relegated to doing experiments under their direction?

If so, it won't last long. At some point AI will be able to use robots to do the experiments itself.

In practice this turns out to be extremely challenging. I've been through many labs with a ton of automated stuff that is... constantly being worked on by a range of 3rd party techs, rather than actually running in response to models.

It makes me wonder if there is some easily automated or configurable experiment is capable of revealing "new science".
