Analogical Reasoning in Scienc...

I read some papers on 'automating science' (I prefer 'automation in science') and (worse) 'AI scientists'.
Someone should write a paper on their implicit assumptions regarding the nature of science!
Some observations:
- there is no awareness of fallibility or how to deal errors, which is an ongoing process essential to science;
- I fear that the 'loop' in science they're trying to close is 'the scientific method', which is a myth;
- they sure like to use the term 'alien' for new things.
