Is AI the new research scientist? Not so, according to a human-led study
University of Florida researchers asked generative AI to write a research paper. While adept at some steps, it wholly failed at others.
“A pervasive fear surrounding these AIs is their ability to usurp human labor,” explained Geoff Tomaino, an assistant professor in marketing at the University of Florida Warrington College of Business. In the literature review, results analysis and manuscript production stages, though, it struggled to produce valuable outputs and required substantial oversight. Based on their findings, the University of Florida team advises researchers to maintain high skepticism toward AI outputs, treating them as starting points that require human verification and refinement.
