The speaker thinks current AI systems are much worse at choosing research experiments than at implementing experiments, and that their research suggestions tend to be miscellaneous, incremental steps.

“probably just like iteratively asking the right questions like if you can get the ai to like do any experiment but like you need to decide what experiments to do and like right now i think ai's are not very good at this compared compared to coding the experiment at all like whenever we talk about research they propose like a bunch of like miscellaneous things which are like very very tiny steps”
