Very few former students can claim they never wrote a last-minute research paper the night before it was due.
Simply put, its doing the Googling for you.
Instead of deciding on your own sourcing, the chatbot will do all that work for you.
Unlike Googles tool, OpenAIs Deep Research works in a side panel.
The chatbot will update you about what its working on.
Occasionally, the bot will cite what sources its looking at, namely Wikipedia.
In another example, OpenAI said its model could find multiple papers on advanced biology topics.
The process does take much longer than any typical ChatGPT request.
OpenAI claims it boils down to what would normally take humans many hours.
OpenAI admitted that Deep Research is very compute intensive.
Most college students wont pay $200 monthly for a cheating tool.
Eventually, those who cant spend as much may also be able to pay for their Wikipedia-citing machine.
