IMHO, the biggest problem for researchers using AI is when they use AI only to find answers to their questions and do not use AI to discover the questions that they should be asking: why is there a gap in our understanding here, or a gap in our data, or an unexpected anomaly, or conflicting inferences arising? That’s real research, versus writing a clever prompt to get an answer to a prepared question. Research is not an exam question, but a quest for new questions and new knowledge. Of course, there are useful reasons to find answers, but don’t confuse prompting for research.
