don't worry, science as conclusions derived from research will soon be replaced by bullshit psuedo-research-AI-word-vomit derived from equally bullshit pre-determined conclusions

You should really watch this -- AI is being used in real research, and not all of it is bad. Those who think AI is bad are simply uneducated luddites.
AI's primary use case so far is to further concentrate wealth with the wealthy, and to replace employees. People who think AI is bad recognize that it is in the hands of the modern generation of robber barons, and serves their interests.
Those who don't recognize this are delusional.
AI as a tool can absolutely be a good thing, just like almost any tool. A tool on its own is neither good nor bad, it's just a tool that can be used. The usage is what makes it good or bad.
Yes, most of what AI is used for now is bad, but it can absolutely be a good thing in the right use cases.
