I doubt you’d be singing the same tune if Anthropic released Claude Researcher and a bunch of people were saying “I’m a designer, not a biologist. I don’t need great research. I just need X”

Ironically I think AI will replace researchers before it replaces artists.

I'm not the one saying my job is uniquely human. Last week, I watched a video of a vendor's new facility that entirely automates antibody production and screening lab. The machines run literally every step from picking antibodies, sequencing, scaling up, and in vitro screening without a human interfering or donning a labcoat. A machine that is essentially a nicer roomba fetches the flask and drives it to where the shakers are and puts it on an empty shaker spot. I have no doubt the lab tasks I do can be automated. Fortunately for me, a large portion of my job at the moment is in handling animals, and there are much higher barriers there, but again, I don't think that part of my job makes me irreplaceable.
