Basically, we've built the largest possible fuzzing system for basic science. "Here's a tool that can apply scientific rigour to any question you ask it, no matter how stupid. Ask it questions" Tho, most people aren't interacting with models above the free tier. Heh.

there are somewhere between six thousand and literally billions of these exoplanets

actually I dont know what Im getting at here. "there are a lot of planets". yeah everybody knows that

Not sure that qualifies as ai use. This is just applying algorithms on data. The algorithms seem straightforward… same we’d have used in 1960

Did you read the description of how he did it? He had Claude write all the code and do the analysis. Yes, he asked the questions, and had Claude use bog-standard algorithms. This is how most technical people use AI today. We ask it questions and tell it to write code to do work.

An astronomy grad student can probably do that for cheaper
