OpenAI's 'deep research' tool: is it useful for scientists?
Briefly

OpenAI introduced its 'deep research' tool, designed to generate comprehensive reports by synthesizing data from multiple sources. This innovation, launched on February 2, exhibits significant advancements compared to Google's existing tool, offering enhanced reasoning and extensive information integration. Users, including scientists, express a blend of appreciation for its efficiency and concerns regarding the quality of output. While some praise its capability in identifying knowledge gaps, others urge caution, citing the need for more human oversight in the writing process.
Many scientists who have tried it are impressed with its ability to write literature reviews or full review papers and even identify gaps in knowledge.
Derya Unutmaz, an immunologist says the OpenAI deep research reports are 'extremely impressive', 'trustworthy' and as good or better than published review papers.
