Researchers debate how to do science after capable LLMs cross a threshold
MvsCerezo · x · 2026-07-26
- The post argues that discussions about how to do research in the era of capable LLMs should happen now, before the field gets locked into a new default workflow.
- A quoted comment says the current choices of a small community can still shape the future direction of the field, especially in quantum information / research culture.
- The thread also suggests that researchers may already be past some threshold, where combining multiple LLMs could produce more than linear gains.
- It links this to a broader question: how the research community should respond to the automation of research.
