The use of an AI tool worries me as, is by now well documented, AI has a tendency to re-enforce prejudices, but those using output from questions posed to AI systems often fail to take this into account. In fact, in the video, I already picked up on the "quantity over quality" trap. Reading thousands of papers can often lead to groupthink taking over from critical thought. As Bob mentioned in his recent (excellent!) discussion onn the Grimerica podcast, approaching a subject with an open mind and first observing what actually happens "in nature" (idiosynchrocies and all) should then be an attempt made to study and evaluate prior art and writings against what we have observed via experimentation - there should be no place for extrapolation / interpolation or being constrained by existing beliefs or theories or groupthink as new evidence comes to light.
