What are the limitations of AI in generating truly novel hypotheses?

AI is powerful, no doubt, but it has limitations when it comes to generating truly novel hypotheses. AI relies heavily on data, so it may struggle to come up with creative ideas that go beyond existing patterns. If the data is incomplete or biased, the generated hypotheses might not yield any meaningful results. Additionally, AI lacks the creativity and intuition of humans, which are crucial for brainstorming entirely new ideas. So, while AI can generate data-backed hypotheses, it may not be able to think ‘outside the box’ in the same way a human can.
