If an organism’s dependence upon external resources does not diminish its embodied status, the dependence of AI upon minerals, energy, manufacturing, and maintenance cannot justify describing AI as immaterial or detached from the physical world.

Prompt an LLM and an answer appears within seconds. What we don't see is the physical journey: routers, servers, submarine fibre optic cables, data centres, processors, etc.

The physical #embodiment and existence of #AI includes the acquisition of minerals, transformation, industrial fabrication, operation, maintenance, modification, replacement, and disposal of components.

Can ChatGPT contribute creativity to scientific research? My Theory of Everything Research Programme offers a case study. The role of ChatGPT went beyond drafting text: it helped propose, challenge and restructure the research architecture itself.

The evidence is not the length of three papers. It is a research architecture that became more falsifiable, less protective of its assumptions & better at identifying failure. Scientific creativity can mean devising more effective ways to discover where you are going wrong. 11/12
