Reliable GenAI and Perpetual Motion (opens in new tab)

But the fundamental principle behind GenAI, statistical inference, guarantees it will always be unreliable. As important as reliability is in science, researchers need a way of clearly understanding what GenAI can—and can’t—actually do. Gen AI has no concept of correctness. And even if it did, GenAI favors plausible falsehoods over unlikely truths. And unlikely truths are the heart of scientific discovery.
