    Is it the LLM’s research? Do guns shoot people?
    Researching other people’s work is still research. If they start claiming other people’s work is their work without having added any value, then it’s obviously stealing, but otherwisethis argument makes no sense.

      When you type “dear robot girlfriend, do my work, make no mistakes” into a chatbot window, and then use the slop that the average word predicting machine shat out, you’re not doing research. In fact, you’re not doing anything besides frying your brain while frying the planet.
      It’s not “research” at all, but whatever that is, llm generated it, you did nothing.

        So if I just quickly search Wikipedia or list through a few books, is that a research? How many prompts or hours until my unnamed activity becomes research? Is it a hard limit, or just based on how hateful you’re feeling for the day?

          If I go to the restaurant and order something, is that counts as me cooking? How many times I need to point to the waiter at the menu and ask them to bring me something, until I am officially count as a professional cook? If I ask them to make it less salty and add cheese, is it counts as the restaurant employing me as a chef or only as a liner cook?
          Just in case your chat “research” fried your brain completely, and it needs to be spelled out: no, to be called cook you need to cook the food. To do research you need to do research, not ask a word prediction machine to do it.
