> Machine learning 'causing science crisis'

ML or more generally mathematics do not cause anything. People who misuse mathematics are to blame here. Some fields are simply using tools they don't understand and this predates ML advances by decades. Thinking of stats use in psychology and medicine for instance.

This trend of presenting ML are some kind of magic powder is ridiculous. I blame hyped presentations by influential ML scientists for this.
