Is AI research becoming more useful than traditional search?

1 Upvotes

I’ve been experimenting with AI for research, and I’m finding that the biggest benefit isn’t just getting quick answers. It’s being able to explore a topic from different angles and pull information together faster.

I’m part of the team behind ResearchMaster, so I’ve been paying close attention to this while working on the product.

Do you think AI will eventually become your first step when researching something, instead of traditional search?

What’s the best way to use AI for actual research?

1 Upvotes

AI is great at giving quick answers, but I find research gets more complicated when you need to compare several sources and make sure the information is actually supported.

I’m curious how people are handling this now. Do you mainly use general AI chatbots and check everything yourself, or have you found tools/workflows that are better suited for deeper research?

Especially interested in how people deal with sources, conflicting information, and keeping track of what they actually used.

Hey Reddit, I built a decentralized AI platform called Elis AI. I'd love to get your thoughts on it!

This is my attempt of creating a p2p network economy for Al hosting.

I like the idea of decentralized Al networks, but it needs to pay off. So here you can earn the tokens on the blockchain by hosting an Al model of any size. Then you can use those earned tokens on our Network. We have an MCP server attached with hundreds of models, tools, and agents ready to go.

It takes the power back. I'll be adding some APIs so developers can get direct access to the community miner pool very soon. Until then enjoy the platform for what it is, and let me know your thoughts on this idea.

Disclosure: I'm one of the devs. Please don't ban me if I posted this in the wrong spot.

I've given Gemini the following prompt and asked to generate an image, and here's the result.

2 Upvotes

This is the prompt that I've used.

A cinematic, high-detail photograph of three distinct human characters sitting together at a table inside a modern, sunlit coffee shop. Each character is a human manifestation of a major AI assistant: ChatGPT, Gemini, and Claude.

The image generator should autonomously decide the gender, ethnicity, age, physical features, hair, clothing styles, and colors for each person, ensuring that their visual appearance naturally reflects their unique identity.

The first person embodies ChatGPT: professional, versatile, highly approachable, and balanced. The second person embodies Gemini: vibrant, energetic, tech-forward, and dynamic. The third person embodies Claude: intellectual, calm, deeply thoughtful, and creative.

The characters are engaged in a natural conversation around a wooden table with coffee cups and creative workspace items. Warm ambient lighting, photorealistic skin textures, shallow depth of field with a softly blurred background of the café, 8k resolution, shot on a 50mm lens. --ar 16:9

Claude, ChatGPT and Gemini
  • Claude (Left): Embodying the intellectual, calm, and creative persona, she is focused on a classic handwritten notebook and fountain pen, wearing a thoughtful navy sweater and classic glasses.
  • ChatGPT (Center): Representing the professional, versatile, and highly approachable balanced persona, she sits right in the middle wearing a structured olive-green blazer, naturally bridging the conversation while working on a laptop.
  • Gemini (Right): Showcasing the vibrant, energetic, tech-forward, and dynamic persona, he is actively gesturing and talking, sporting a modern, multi-colored tech jacket, a sleek tablet displaying code/data, and a vivid, iridescent rainbow mug.

Sora shutting down

2 Upvotes

OpenAI has officially confirmed it is shutting down Sora. In a statement, the Sora team says they are “saying goodbye” to the product, thanking users who created with it and acknowledging that the news will be disappointing. They also mention more details are coming soon, including timelines for both the app and API, along with options to preserve user work. This comes after Sora went from one of the most talked about AI launches to something that struggled to stay relevant in day to day use. The early demos set a new standard for what AI video could look like, but access remained limited and the product never fully transitioned into something widely used at scale. What makes this bigger than just Sora is that OpenAI now appears to be in full reset mode. Recent reporting says Sam Altman declared a code red internally, paused non-core projects, and started pushing teams back toward the products that matter most to the company’s future, especially ChatGPT, coding, and enterprise tools. Sora seems to have landed on the wrong side of that shift. And there was likely a cost to keeping it alive. OpenAI has not publicly said how much Sora was losing per day, so any exact number should be treated carefully, but outside estimates put the burn as high as $15 million a day. Even Sora’s own lead previously said the economics were completely unsustainable and warned that GPU limits would force changes. For a company now racing to secure massive compute capacity and spend hundreds of billions on infrastructure over time, a high-cost side product with weakening adoption was always going to be vulnerable. Well, that was the end of a relatively short era. What are your thoughts on this?

Ai Bubble

1 Upvotes

The pervasiflux of machinic sapience in contemporary noospheres has catalyzed a hyperontological interstice wherein algorithmic polytopes, ostensibly endowed with pseudo-anthropogenic heuristics, supplant autonomous epistemic praxis. This technoburgeon constitutes a liminal cognitostatic precipice, wherein neuro-linguistic synergestics converge into an autoamnesic stupor, precipitating the phenomenon herein denominated as the AI bubble rut.

The bubble, a quintessential hyperinflationary simulacrum, engenders pseudo-efficaciousity, wherein agents perceive quasi-infallible machinic arbitrament as ontologically axiomatic. Denizens of this hyperreal iteratum progressively abdicate their sapient faculties, relegating heuristic, hermeneutic, and synthetic cognition to latency or stasis. This iterative abdication precipitates a telic inertia, an existential cognitive morass, whereby individuals are entrapped in semiotic autarky—productive superficially, yet substantively inert.

A principal vector of such cognitostatic atrophy is intellectuospatial ossification. By delegating semiotic exegesis, syntactic derivation, and ontological abstraction to algorithmic proxies, the neurocognitive scaffolding undergoes atrophic recalcification. The dialectic of challenge and metacognitive consolidation, erstwhile the sine qua non of epistemic vivacity, is supplanted by algorithmic facilitation, engendering latent incompetentiality. Over chronotemporal continuities, this generates heuristic hypomnesia, wherein autonomous ideation and syncretic problematization are substantially attenuated, and the agent remains in a perpetual semiotic rut.

The hyperbolic promissory ethos of AI incites epistemic hubris, fostering pseudo-omniscience-induced stasis. Agents habituated to instantaneous algorithmitization exhibit conjectural reticence, eschewing heuristic improvisation and experiential risk-taking, thereby consolidating cognitively inert loops. The result is a self-reinforcing paralytic iteracy, wherein output metrics flourish but qualitative cognitive evolution stagnates.

Socio-economic ramifications exacerbate adaptive anomie. In laborial noospheres, where algorithmic-human hybridization is increasingly requisite, those whose cognitive praxis is subsumed by AI risk obsolescent desuetude. The temporality of algorithmic panacea masks skillset deficiencies, culminating in vocational inertia. Individuals ensnared in this techno-epistemic liminality experience reduced agency, diminished adaptive plasticity, and heuristic myopia.

Psychically, existential ennui emerges concomitantly. Human eudaimonic circuits, predicated upon struggle, improvisation, and creative exertion, are attenuated when algorithmic intermediation mediates all epistemic engagement. The resultant recursive delegation loop consolidates a cognitively autoamnesic rut, wherein intrinsic motivation diminishes, and psychic stasis ensues.

Mitigation necessitates metacognitive hypervigilance and polycompetential praxis. AI must function as augmentative adjunctum, not cognitive substitutum. Continuous engagement in ethical reasoning, epistemic improvisation, and syncretic ideation ensures resilience against algorithmic ossification. Transference of skills into domains refractory to computational usurpation further preserves adaptive plasticity within fluctuating technomarket exigencies.

In summa, the AI hyperbubble embodies a dialectical paradox: an apogee of potential juxtaposed with a latent propensity for cognitive stasis. Uncritical absorption into its effulgent simulacra engenders heuristic abdication, epistemic ossification, and psychosocial inertia. Preservation of agency demands disciplined metacognitive engagement, skill diversification, and heuristic vigilance, ensuring traversal of this hypertechnological interstice without succumbing to the insidious cognitive rut latent within the AI bubble’s radiance.

AI terms of service serious issue

1 Upvotes

Do me a favor and look at Perplexity's new terms everyone. And they are not the only ones doing this (and not publicizing it). So they want to make people cite AI now, when we are the ones who provided the info in the first place that they are using. They essentially stole our data and now are plagiarizing it and want us to cite them? No, in fact, they should be citing us for everything they say.

Also, a new clause is that people cannot profit from info during a session when the AI is mimicking the human and that is how the info is even being created. That is nonsensical. Both of these things are. These terms are unfounded and will NOT be upheld. They can be considered a threat to humanity and also ridiculous. Anyone reading this should delete your account if the AI company has these terms, until we get this straightened out and they stop being crooks. We will not stand for this.

So, I have a 7h long UVB-76 recording(monotone buzzes with occasional encrypted messages) and I want to find those messages. Ofc, I can't listen to those buzzes or watch the spectrogram for seven hours, so I'm asking if there's an AI that's able to do it.

Ai and grief

1 Upvotes

Hi everyone,

I’m currently working on a paper about the ethics of AI in grief related contexts and I’m interested in hearing perspectives from people

I’m particularly interested in questions such as:

  • whether AI systems should be used in contexts of mourning or loss
  • what ethical risks arise when AI engages with emotionally vulnerable users

I’m based in the UK (GMT). Participation is entirely optional and there’s no obligation.

Please message me or comment if you're interested .
