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.

    Despite what your clanker wifu told you, just saying the word "strawman" doesn't actually constitutes as a proper position.

    You just made an assumption on how the research was done, that's your strawman. Then you attacked me and assumed something completely not true, that's ad hominem. You'll be hard pressed to find someone who hates Artificial Idiots more than me, but I also hate bad faith arguments that reduce any person to a handful of stereotypes or a caricature. Instead of throwing insults try engaging in constructive dialogue.

    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.

    You don't need to be a chef to cook a meal.
    I don't need to be a scientist to do research.

    Is that what you think being said to you? Is that what you consider an appropriate response? Damn, that's even worse than I thought.

    I'm afraid you used brain destroying machine to destroy your brain, and now this is the level of comprehension we're working with. It's sad, really. You should be glad that gods don't exist, otherwise they would be very disappointed.
