On some axes, but won’t there to be axes where AIs are more difficult than humans also? Sycophancy&slop being the most salient. Misalignment issues being another.
Yes, I just meant on net. (Relative to the current ML community and given a similar fraction of resources to spend on AI compute.)
It’s not entirely clear to me that the math works out for AIs being helpful on net relative to humans just doing it, because of the supervision required, and the trust and misalignment issues.
But on this question (for AIs that are just capable of “prosaic and relatively unenlightened ML research”) it feels like shot-in-the-dark guesses. It’s very unclear to me what is and isn’t possible.

I certainly agree it isn’t clear, just my current best guess.
