“Inventing a new field of science” would do it, as far as more-or-less legible measures go. Anything less than that is too easily “fakeable” using top-down reasoning.
Seems unlikely we’ll see this before stuff gets seriously crazy on anyone’s views. (Has any new field of science been invented in the last 5 years by humans? I’m not sure what you’d count.)
It seems like we should at least update towards AIs being very useful for accelerating AI R&D if we very clearly see AI R&D greatly accelerate and it is using tons of AI labor. (And this was the initial top level prompt for this thread.) We could say something similar about other types of research.

Maybe some minor science fields, but yeah entirely new science fields in 5 years is deep into ASI territory, assuming it’s something like a hard science like physics.

Minor would count.
