I see everyoine is (rightly so) ripping on Musk's new all-male xAI effort to "understand the true nature of the universe."

But the real problem is AI can't tell us anything new beyond what scientists have already figured out. It doesn't do any "thinking" or actual research or anything new; it simply regurgitates re-formulated ideas based on the science of what we already know.

What is MIGHT produce, especially since Musk is leading this, is garbage speculation unsupported by evidence.

I decided to ask Elon's giant hive mind (🐦) this question. The reply was a picture of a scantily dressed girl with very exaggerated anatomy and a few Bible verses of questionable relevance.
Needless to say I am not very confident xAI will do any better. Looks like a massively funded school group project for the science fair.
