The problem with working in a hyper-competitive industry is that there’s maximum motivation to roll out new features, even when those features aren’t ready yet or adequately tested. OpenAI received a lot of praise for its Deep Research function through its $ 200-a-month model, but my experience with it found it to hallucinate heavily — i.e., make a lot of stuff up. And the ability to write a Ph.D.-level research paper becomes a lot less valuable if you can’t trust what it’s saying to be real.
