A Google DeepMind researcher argues that current language models are incapable of initiating scientific revolutions due to a lack of necessary cognitive mechanisms for true innovation. The researcher suggests that "world models," which can simulate and understand the physical world, may be better suited for driving such breakthroughs. This perspective challenges the notion that advanced language models alone can lead to paradigm shifts in scientific discovery. AI
