    I mean LLMs pretty much just try to guess what to say in a way that matches their training data, and research is usually trying to test or measure stuff in reality and see the data and try to find conclusions based on that so it doesn’t seem feasible for LLMs to do research

    They maybe used as part of research but it can’t do the whole research as a crucial part of most research would be the actual data and you’d need a LOT more than just LLMs to get that

      Yup! LLMs don’t put facts together. They just look for patterns, without any concept of what they are looking at.
