No part of this article involves AI making independent discoveries. The researchers used ML to map muscle contractions to wing motion.

It's interesting, but a far stretch from what OP wrote for the title.

And researchers have been ml to analyze data for decades now. It's not a remotely new thing and I think they're purposefully being vague to try and trick people into thinking an LLM did this because it's the big AI buzzword right now.
