ChatGPT does obviously nothing else than 99.X% of all claimed
researchers do! Recompile knowledge and claim this being new...
Today about 1 out of 1000 papers contains genuine research that has a
real value 99% of all papers is garbage. The remaining one 1% sometimes
contains good compilations, or wrong claims.
ChatGPT certainlay cannot do research...

ChatGPT Strikes at the Heart of the Scientific World View
That this AI is adaptive and can produce complex outputs is a
technical triumph. But at its heart, it's still just pattern recognition.

quote <<ChatGPT itself highlights the intellectual emptiness of the
correlation-as-knowledge world view. Many people have remarked that
the tool produces outputs that read as plausible, but that subject
matter experts tell us are often “bullshittery.” Engineers will almost
certainly design more-convincing chatbots. But the fundamental problem
of evaluating accuracy will remain. The data will never be able to
speak for itself.
This is the paradox at the heart of the correlations-based faith in
big data. In the scientific world view, the legitimacy of a piece of
knowledge is determined by whether the scientist followed an agreed
method to arrive at a conclusion and advance a theory: to create
knowledge. Machine-learning processes, in contrast, are so complex
that their innards are often a mystery even to the people running them.
As a result, if you can’t evaluate the process for accuracy, your only
choice is to evaluate the output. But to do that, you need a theory of
the world: knowledge beyond correlations. The danger of a dataist
mindset is that a theory of the world will be imposed, unthinkingly,
on the algorithm, as if it were natural rather than someone’s choice.
And wherever they come from, whatever they are, these theories will
shape what the program considers to be legitimate knowledge, making
choices to prioritize some information over others.>>
