The scientific method is not about running experiments and then trying to work out the gist of something. It's about understanding and theory building and then doing experiments to verify your model. The end result is not an experimental result but a model that you understand and can use to build solutions etc. LLMs are bringing us back to pre- science correlations and superstitions. That's why all the conversations on these threads about AI are so boring. It's all anecdotes and tips and no understanding.
