The sciences mostly use closed methods, so adding AIs that don’t cite sources and cannot be traced?

Quoted in @Nature article “Is AI leading to a reproducibility crisis in science?” by @philipcball, I may sound a bit harsh, but it’s the truth…

Replying to @LorenaABarba @Nature and @philipcball

Not “leading to”. The sciences and much online already use closed methods and “nearly impossible to trace and verify in a reasonable time” methods and systems. My harshest words are “shame on you” and “unconscionable”. Add AIs that don’t cite sources, and use hidden methods …?
