Death of the Scientific Method

from We Are the Machines

Got something to say to this podcast? Send a voicemail, and you might hear yourself on the next episode! The scientific method is dead. I killed it myself, on purpose, by building an AI tool that could answer any question a business owner asked, faster than any human ever could, and in this episode I walk through what happens once that happens: the machine gives you a clean, polished report and still tells you nothing new, trial and error quietly replaces the process your science teacher drilled into you, and the only thing standing between a good decision and a bad one becomes how clearly you can ask the question in the first place. I use my own experiment, building a data tool meant to help business owners make decisions, to show exactly where the machine helps, where it hallucinates, and where the real work is still on you. In this episode I show what happened.
