If you automate it, is it still research? Research implies some sort of hypothesis testing, yes?

I suppose OP means there will be two groups: people who use AutoML and people who try to make AutoML better.

There should be at least 3 groups, because making AutoML better != making ML better.

Why? The concept of AutoML does include the design of novel algorithms.

What do you mean? I thought AutoML was a tool to do neural architecture search, and hyperparameter tuning.
