AI Beats Brain Experts at Their Own Game (While I Beat My Hangover)

Look, I’d normally be sleeping off last night’s bourbon binge right about now, but this story’s too good to pass up. Some bigshot researchers just proved that AI can predict scientific outcomes better than actual scientists. The kind of news that makes you want to pour a drink, whether to celebrate or forget.

Here’s the deal: They built something called “BrainBench” - because god forbid we name anything without trying to sound cute - and pit their fancy AI against 171 neuroscientists. The game? Figure out which research results were real and which were fake. Like a high-stakes academic version of “Two Truths and a Lie,” except everyone’s sober and wearing lab coats.
