Agreed!
I don’t mean sarcasticly, honestly. As you said, it’s still valuable science.
Comment on 'Garbage in, garbage out': AI fails to debunk disinformation, study finds.

You also need that stuff to shut up pseudo-sceptics. Like, random example, posture having an influence on mood, there were actually psychologists denying that because either a) If there’s no study on some effect then it doesn’t exist, “literature realism” or b) some now-debunked theory of the past implied it, “incorrectness by association”. Just because you’re an atheist doesn’t mean that you should discount catholic opinions on beer brewing, they produce some good shit.

Not to mention based on the numbers in the article I imagine the AI might actually do better than an average human would do. It wasn’t as much of a “duh” as I thought it would be.
