I'll kindly disagree on this front, because when I'm walking a path toward solving a solution, I mark a lot of steps for possible diversions to other paths hence solving adjacent or different problems with the method I have at hand.
Currently, AI takes us from A to B, and is improving on that front. However, the paths in science are not lines, but a trees. Methods are cross-pollinated from each other.
Human intuition enables this cross-pollination. AI works with a laser focus. Human intuition and resulting wide perspective sow the seeds for solutions in many areas at once.
