In fairness, it can combine existing information in a way no person thought to, which is large part of working as a scientist.

It can be a powerful interdisciplinary connector, covering the blind spots of human science. Not many people can be knowledgeable in several frontier fields at once. AI can, so it will definitely help. But yes, verifying output is essential.
