Weather true or not, I think that in the coming years, several billion people will suddenly have the chance to discuss these things with AI, and scrutinize all facets of the current scientific body. I predict that all fields will be disrupted, and shake all former intuition and certainty about current quality of our models. New ideas and papers inspired by this is already popping up, and it will get more and more intrusive until a new knowledge paradigm emerges.

It could also lead to an incredible gish-gallop of AI slop that totally depends out meaningful, non-speculatice science, hurling us into another dark age, but ya know, potato-tomato.

Nothing against you personally, OP.

Thanks — yes, I feel we are entering exactly that transition.

AI doesn’t “replace” science, but it changes the environment in which science happens. When billions of people can iterate ideas with AI, old intuitions about “what is serious” or “what is allowed to be questioned” stop working.

ICT is just one attempt to formalize this shift — not by rejecting physics, but by adding an informational layer that can be tested. If the paradigm is moving, we need models that can move with it.

Appreciate your comment — it captures the moment very well.
