It is likely that we will see more Nobel medals awarded to researchers who used AI tools. As this happens, we may find that the scientific methods honored by those Nobel Prize committees will move away from the simple categories of "physics," "chemistry," and "physiology."

In the upper picture, a knowledge update in the model was carried out with the help of ReFACT. On the left, the original images produced by the model. On the right, after editing. The edits also successfully generalize to close formulations, and show that the method succeeds in performing a significant edit in the knowledge encoded in the model.
