That's an interesting paper but it has no bearing on whether AI tools can help academics achieve their goals.

Not in a way that's useful to me. I'm an empiricist in these matters. I've used the tools. They work. They help me achieve my goals. I can't see anything in that paper that would cause me to doubt that.

As an researcher I never use datasets or information where I don't have easy access to the errors rates or biases. What comes out of, say, chat-gpt is useless to me.

Well I doubt that's true. I often get information from colleagues, with unknown error rate and poorly identified biases. Of course, I treat such information with scepticism but still it's often useful
