I tried it on a couple things that are controversial or problematic in the literature and its about what I expected. It parrots the literature, for better or worse. Which means it’s great at getting an overview of the literature and finding citations and stuff. But it’s not gonna magically figure out which papers are quality and which ones are rubbish. It’ll just parrot all of them, even if they contradict each other. Very interesting, and possibly quite a useful tool. But I really wouldn’t use it as an arbiter of truth.
It’s nice to be able to blab to the machine about shit I know no one actually wants to listen to. My partner has been saved countless hours of me going in circles about broken code lol.
I would find this extremely useful as a tool to help me find sources that I then review myself - similar to how I use Wikipedia. But the danger is in people trying to use it for more.
That’s all it should do. We’re nowhere near an AI that could be an arbiter of truth. Hell, most AI couldn’t even be trusted to parrot the literature accurately.

Chat bots are a starting place. I find them useful for rubber ducking.

This is all it’s good for.

It seems like a good way to kick off a literature review.
