The list of jobs that are likely to be automated within a decade is getting longer. Thanks to GPT-3, writers are starting to sweat. Surprisingly, it appears that “scientific researcher” might soon be on the same list. There's a revolution taking place, referred to as “Radical Empiricism”, that could change the scientific method itself. This is surprising, since science is much more creative, unstructured and complex than, say, driving a car. However, deep learning algorithms can outperform humans in finding solutions to devilishly hard, complex problems, and it turns out science - and biology in particular - has plenty of those to solve.
