They believe that once they reach this summit everything else will be trivial problems that can be posed to the almighty AI. It's not that they don't understand the process, it's that they think AI is going to disrupt that process.

They literally believe that the AI will supersede the scientific process. It's crypto shit all over again.

Well, if that summit were reached and AI is able to improve itself trivially, I'd be willing to cede that they've reached their goal.

Anything less than that, meh.
