I think we're going to need CS PhD students to do far more than provide accountability, by which I think Sayash means do code review for AI agents and make sure the agent isn't making silly mistakes. The main value of a strong PhD student for a PI is that they're immersed in a problem, a method, an application, a collaboration with another field; they are obsessed with finding the next question to ask, not just executing the experiments their advisor asks them to do. I simply wouldn't be able to work on the range of things I'm able to work on if I were going it on my own, even if all of my code was generated instantaneously by an agent.
