This was an amazing and incredibly damning experiment using Microsoft Copilot, by @adamjkucharski https://t.co/r3WvNMF9jD

[Rogel and Blondy Center for Pancreatic Cancer @UMICHpancreas]

New research from our team published in @CD_AACR shreds light on how PanIN lesions evolve into pancreatic cancer. This could help us ID people at higher risk of cancer or even potentially stop malignant transformation: https://t.co/Zv8eFzTvbD @Pasca_Lab @timofran1 @CD_AACR

@SyedAAhmad5 Human-in-the-loop for the purpose of interpretation and nuance is still key, but we are definitely NOT in Kansas anymore…

[Sam Rodriques @SGRodriques]

I have spent my entire life working on this and thinking about this for the past 4 years. I don't know what will happen in 20 years, but I can promise you that on the 5-10 year timescale, scientists are not out of their jobs. AI is going to massively accelerate the pace of science, increase productivity, let individual scientists make way more discoveries way faster, and is going to make science overall more fun. But the model is going to be collaboration between humans and AI, not replacement.

The key difference here between science and e.g. software engineering is that science is not verifiable in any rapid/convenient way (unlike software), unlike programming. We still need humans for their scientific taste.

[Anshul Kundaje @anshulkundaje]

One major challenge is making sure newer generations of scientists do not completely lose pretty fundamental knowledge about how all the automated stuff actually works, even if most of that time they can just automate it. There will continue to be a need for deep expertise. 2/

[Filip Bednar @Fil_Bednar]

Hot take - In the pursuit of “efficiency”, profit, fame, “AI” is encroaching on fundamental human pursuits that are the best reflection of what humans are. We are not nd will not be better off from this in the long run.

@TheNotoriousHPB Don’t forget! Someone has to keep getting richer at the expense of our patients. Otherwise we’re not doing this capitalism thing right…
