ChatGPT can search. It cannot research.
The platform has won the world’s attention because of the speed with which it assembles and produces information in a logical sequence, powered by artifical intelligence, as if a human being were prompting it to write. Curious about understanding what ChatGPT can do, I opened an account and asked if it would replace research in the future. Promptly, it replied: “As an AI language model, I don’t hold personal beliefs, but I can present arguments on both sides of the topic.”
The answer amused me. The speed with which it typed the information across the screen was mind-boggling. I could not read the answer as fast as it typed out the sentence. But, when it had finished, I read through the document. It was impressive. It was truly informative.
