Burden of Proof: Is AI Really Conscious?
By
–
That's a great and fair question I think. My perspective right now is that the burden of proof is in the consciousness camp (since I think we all agree that a regular computer is not conscious) and there is not much to go by supporting consciousness in AI right now. However, the

Well I think it's good practice for a real person to verify to output of generative AI systems so… I guess we'll mostly be… reviewing papers? 😉

Automating Reproducibility Reports for Existing Research Papers
By
–
How about applying to the automated production of reproducibility reports of existing papers? This should be easier than producing entirely new papers, and be quite useful in that this is a type of work that we probably don't do enough as a community.
