Let's say I have a machine which looks for mathematical theories. Upon finding and verifying some statements, I take some of the results and publish it. Who is the author and does it matter?

Isn't the credit important at some point? For e.g. it matters to me to decide if I should watch for your future work vs the subject itself.
If you're referring to predictors of future quality, does it still come from the human? Who is the author?

On a similar question, for the combination of credibility + relevance, do you look to metaphorical Google News, NYT, the journal from which the article is sourced, the science team being reported on, or the individual scientists on the team?

I imagine in the future of credibility we might discuss the forecasting abilities of specific models.
