Researchers studied how AI is used in cosmology, the science of the universe. They found that it can speed up calculations and make work easier for scientists. However, the same system can also miss new clues in physics. The reason is that it depends on patterns it learned earlier. In other words, it may be very good at repeating what it already knows, but less good at noticing something different. The result is useful for scientists, but it also shows a limit of AI in this field.
