The problem is that AI depends upon human research, as it cannot do research itself on how to such things recover locked phones, R+R torque converter, etc. run experiments, etc.
“The problem is that AI depends upon human research, as it cannot do research itself”
You are describing the publicly available heavily curated (think balls and chains) version of AI.
The stuff in the lab can be very creative.

” The problem is that AI depends upon human research, as it cannot do research itself on how to such things recover locked phones, R+R torque converter, etc. run experiments, etc.”
Modern AI can accelerate research by rapidly reviewing literature, proposing hypotheses, analyzing data, writing code for simulations, or assisting with design. In purely digital or computational domains it can explore possibilities at high speed. But the core claim remains accurate: for embodied, experimental, or hardware-dependent tasks (phone recovery, automotive R&R, physical experiments, etc.), AI is limited to consulting and rearranging human research rather than conducting it itself.
