Research is the process of identifying a problem and then using relevant, applicable methods to resolve it. AI cannot write and debug code, especially not for this purpose. The graphs are a result of hallucinating.
Let's try an example with something in my field. As I am a mathematician by trade, that field is mathematics, obviously.
Let's say we have a hypothetical family of differential equations, D. Let's say D is vastly uncharted in terms of mapping out its properties and relations to other families of differential equations, i.e. there have only been 1-2 papers on D in the past 10 years since its discovery and those papers haven't really made much progress.
AI couldn't be of any use, especially not for writing and debugging code that could help us understand D.
That's the fatal flaw. You've probably heard this before, but AI cannot produce novel information. It's just a numbers-in numbers-out machine.
