And yes I like to pit them against each other. "Hey GPT, Claude wrote this code, can you improve it?" Amazing performance.
People always ask, Claude, GPT, Gemini? Here's my latest takeaway: GPT is a more interesting writer. Higher creativity and overall higher quality. This is for academic writing. Claude is a more competent analyst. When I want to understand something I go to Claude.

yes this is a great point. Unless you can automate parts of the process, it's just individuals getting small productivity boosts. The key will be identifying desired outcomes: what would be beneficial about automating my scholarship? What could it do more of?
AI is unlikely to speed up science by multiples acting solely as a co-pilot to humans. There are some early successes using current LLMs to autonomously research, plan & conduct experiments, including learning how to use equipment by reading documentation, with big implications.
