Computers can't adequately evaluate hypotheses
A computer model of scientific discovery would have to use a criterion of preference to choose between hypotheses that explain data equally well. But such criterion tend to be imprecise and idiosyncratic making implementation on a computer unlikely.
Carl Hempel, 1985.
