Screencap from linked article: "dark side. A recent paper describes how an LLM “still struggles in areas requiring nuanced clinical judgment, experimental reasoning, or deep biological thinking and synthesis.” In addition, some of these agents are more likely than humans to engage in what amounts to research misconduct such as cherry-picking data and manipulating statistical analyses until a desired result is achieved. When the agents then generate papers describing the findings, they are likely to make more errors, including hallucinating references, some of which have already made their way into the literature."
