Thanks for the wiki link, very interesting, in particular

- the long tail aspect of the problem space ; 'a "long tail" of under-explored problems at the other, many of which are "low hanging fruit" that are very suitable for being attacked by current AI tools'

- the expertise requirement, literature review but also 'Do I understand what the key ideas of the solution are, and how the hypotheses are utilized to reach the conclusion?' so basically one must already be an expert (or able to become one) to actually use this kind of tooling

and finally the outcomes which taking into consider the previous 2 points makes it very different from what most people would assume as "AI contributions".
