Humans outperform AI in tasks requiring genuinely original thinking.
An open question is whether current AI architectures can even learn originality.π€

I wonder if GenAI is making the βapplicationβ side of bioinformatics much more accessible.
Developing bioinformatic methods and applying bioinformatic analyses are still very different activities, even though both are essential.

For context: Iβve seen both approaches used legitimately.

When planning an experiment, do you usually decide on the statistical analysis before collecting the data, or after seeing what the data look like?
Curious how this is usually practically handled.

I hope other journals will start adopting this practice as well. I donβt see why paying researchers a fair compensation for their work would reduce comment quality or increase bias.

How do experimental life scientists usually decide which statistical test to use in practice?
For a given dataset, more than one test may satisfy the statistical assumptions and align with the hypothesis being tested.
Curious how this varies across labs and fields.
