AI for Scientific Search

AI for Scientific Search yes. LLM for Scientific Search I am not sure. AI is not equivalent with LLM. I dislike it when people do it.

AI will have a brand crisis once LLMs get abandoned and researchers need to explain the public that the new AI (not LLM based) is different than the old AI (LLM based) which is different from the old AI (GOFAI)

> once LLMs get abandoned

See, you start making a good point in your rant, but then go too much and stop making sense. LLMs are not going to be abandoned. They've "solved" intent from natural language. They're here to stay.

Of course "AI" will get new things. And architectures might improve. And new things will be discovered and added to the tool box. But having the ability to use natural language as input is so invaluable that there's no way we'll just abandon it...
