And I often find people who feel the need to harp on this , dont actually understand the tech as well as they think. Cos half the webinar was showing use of LLM/GPT to screen for relevant papers aka "tech that generate content" IS used for evidence retrieval. Such a dumb comment. (3)

Watching webinar & "comment not a question" come in.. lecture abt diff between ML, DL vs GPT/ LLMs & says tech that generates content does not improve evidence retrieval - Do these people think they only ones who know the diff? (2)

General deep research are also slower cos many open a virtual browser and query it like a human. The other disadvantage using things like openai/Gemini DR is you know it isn't customized for academic in the way it does citations & it seems to create more "ghost references" for some reason (3)

The main advantage has always been these specialised academic ai tools directly searched academic content while general deep research searches the web and needs to be prompted and be smart enough to know where to search and to prefer to cite. (2)

One of the biggest issues with the synthetic text extruding machines is that we have well-formed linguistic output with no accountability. Solution: OpenAI should be accountable for everything that comes out of ChatGPT, period. (And likewise for Google with Gemini, etc.)

OpenAI Tries to Shift Responsibility to Users
OpenAI is trying to shift the blame for bad legal and medical advice from its chatbot away from the company and onto users. We agree that no chatbot should be used for medical or legal advice.
