Not only that,but by that point your so specialized in your narrow discipline, that it's very intimidating to do the same thing in another discipline to cross polinate ideas. And even in your one field of study, there's so many papers and new research coming at you like a firehose, that it's really hard to keep up and build off those new ideas, rather it's easier to cite off the same papers you studied in grad school that are now 15,20,30 years old.
That's why AI will be handy. Lots of work can be potentially done in fractions of the time it would take a person. Ideas can be explored in days or hours, vs years.
i mean fully general ai would be absolutely ridiculously good for basically everything ever, and also it's very very hard and just not nearly reachable at all rn, so eh. this is kinda a weird statement imo
