Physicists just invented a math proof so complex, it doubles as a new form of #torture for grad students 🤯🔢. Meanwhile, Quanta Magazine's editors are busy patting themselves on the back for making math sound like the latest Netflix #thriller 🎬📚.

When ChatGPT Writes Your Research Proposal: Scientific Creativity in the Age of Generative AI https://www.mdpi.com/2079-3200/13/5/55 #AI #creativity #GradStudents

Text Shot: Specifically, we compare AI-generated responses with those of graduate students in terms of their ability to generate scientific hypotheses, design experiments, and justify their ideas for a fictitious research scenario in the field of experimental psychology. We asked students to write and prompted ChatGPT to generate a brief version of a research proposal containing four separate assignments (i.e., formulating a hypothesis, designing an experiment, listing the required equipment, and justifying the chosen method). Using a structured (blinded) rating, two experts from the field evaluated students’ research proposals and proposals generated by ChatGPT in terms of their scientific creativity. Our results indicate that ChatGPT received significantly higher overall scores, but even more crucially exceeded students in sub-scores measuring originality or meaningfulness of the ideas. In addition to a statistical evaluation, we qualitatively assess our data providing a more…

AI for research: the ultimate guide to choosing the right tool https://www.nature.com/articles/d41586-025-01069-0 #AI #DeepResearch #GradStudents

Text Shot: Chuck Downing, a PhD student in accounting at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) in Cambridge, says that these deep-research tools have been especially useful when digging into unfamiliar topics. During one project, Downing used OpenAI’s Deep Research to create a report ranking various approaches for reducing emissions at manufacturing plants. “I didn’t know much going in, but I learnt quite a bit, and so I use these deep dives all the time now,” he says. “It’s better than anything else I’ve used so far at finding good papers and in presenting the information in a way that I can easily understand.”
