Section 1
The premise
AI can take an AI research paper and produce a replication plan with environment, dataset, hyperparameters, evaluation script, and known gaps.
What AI does well here
- Extract a structured methods table from a long paper
- Generate a code skeleton with TODOs at every place the paper is ambiguous
What AI cannot do
- Run the experiments or interpret unexpected results
- Decide whether a partial replication justifies a public claim
