When a joint Harvard/MIT study finds something, and then a DeepMind researcher follows up replicating it and finding something new, and then later on another research team replicates it and finds even more new stuff, and then later on another researcher replicates it with a different board game and finds many of the same things the other papers found generalized beyond the original scope…
That’s kinda the gold standard?
The paper in question has been cited by 371 other papers.
Citation like that means it’s a hot topic. Doesn’t say anything about the quality of the research. Certainly isn’t evidence of lacking bias. And considering everyone wants their AI to be the first one to be aware to some degree, everyone making claims like yours is heavily biased.
You do know how replication works?

I’m pretty comfortable with it as a citation.
