This article critiques current AI for Science (AI4S) research for focusing on compensating weaknesses of frontier models, arguing that the true bottleneck is the scientific ecosystem rather than individual AI scientist intelligence. It calls for a shift toward building an AI-native scientific ecosystem from first principles.
