Researchers Push Back on Anthropic's Claude Scientific Discovery Claims

Anthropic's claim of a Claude-led scientific discovery has drawn pushback from biologists who note similar findings date to 2021 and that trained PhDs could do the same analysis, while defenders argue no one actually had, fueling an ongoing debate on AI's real research autonomy.
