    Somebody should have warned Tesla, Hawking, Bohr, Heisenberg in advance, so they don't even bother trying...

    Oh, wait: Humanity as such??? Well, that's even worse, given how much talent we have had and do have...

    Oh, wait: SOME Humans are stupid? Yes but why are all so forcefully denigrated to the lowest common denominator?!?

    Oh, wait: it's easier that way, 'cause then one doesn't even have to make any effort, 'cause it's ALL stupid and useless...

    Neat...

    AI is 'Better Than' Humans and That is Ok

    The creation of hypotheses has long been a purely human domain. However, now scientists use machine learning to get original ideas.
    For example, a neural network has determined that the density of the structure of the mammary glands contributes to cancer recurrence. While it couldn't explain why, it helped Case Western Reserve University biomedical engineering professor Anant Madabhushi and colleagues better understand how tumor growth progresses, leading to new directions for future research.

    That's not a new hypothesis, that's just piling up data from what is available to it...
