Do you think an artificial intelligence could do your job in about 25 years?

A fair amount of it yes - but fortunately its a fair bit to do with human behaviours too so I might be safe.

Well yeah, but they would be too competent and too much would get done efficiently and too many bureaucrats would never allow it to happen

Nah tbh. There are a lot of parts of bench science that can, are, or should be done by machines esp if they're menial or to increase reproducibility of a technique. But I think you'll always need humans to come up with questions, interpret data in a meaningful way, and craft complex but coherent stories about how all the data fits together. I'd fkn love it if AI could write grants for me tho
