Researcher challenges claim that AI research taste doubles every 3 months
burny_tech · x · 2026-10-06
P-Zero Research claims AI's 'research taste' has doubled every 3 months since December 2025 and now exceeds the expert human baseline. burnytech pushes back with three questions:
- How is this actually evaluated?
- How confident are we it isn't benchmaxxed?
- How much consists of fixed objectives vs. open-ended problems with unclear objectives and verification signals?
The critique highlights a broader problem: open-ended research taste is hard to verify objectively, and the evaluation methodology determines whether the claim holds.
