AI doing philosophy = AI generating hands, plus the fact that philosophy is heavily corrupted by postmodernism to the point where twoauthors write books dedicated to criticism of postmodernism PRECISELY because their parodies got published.
I think I meant a more practical / next-steps-generating answer.
I don’t think “academia is corrupted” is a bottleneck for a rationalist Get Gud At Philosophy project. We can just route around academia.
The sorts of things I was imagining might be things like “figure out how to teach a particular skill” (or “identify particular skills that need teaching”, or “figure out how test whether someone has a particular skill), or “solve some particular unsolved conceptual problem(s) that you expect to unlock much easier progress.”
