Harness the power of AI for research: How ChatGPT is changing the game 

I'm diagnose with cancer, i have just 2 years to live, i've never been this scared to die, i'm just 35, i cry everyday wishing for a miracle to happen. i don't know why im saying this here. put me in your prayers.

Andy, I am currently pursuing in Masters in research, and I find your videos so helpful! I have learned so much from you on the many tools available, time management, and much more that I share with others. Thank you for the work you do! You have no idea how much you have helped me (and so many others). Have a blessed day

When it first came out i had a go at it to help me with my phd then realised a few things that were not good: 1. only provides answers in usa english even IF you put in AUS or NZ english it still misses parts out 2. some of the sources it provided were not the correct authors 3. chatgpt can provide examples of how to summarise academic writing or grammar which is good but im glad i checked because there were some major mistakes it would jumble up some words Still a good tool

By leveraging the power of ChatGPT, I am able to elevate my writing to new heights. I craft the core message with my own words, and then ask ChatGPT to transform it into a more captivating, persuasive, and easily digestible form. The result is a superior piece of writing that truly resonates with its intended audience

I'm hoping to start my PhD in the fall. I'm quite excited to see what the power of ChatGPT and other AI tools can do for my academic journey. I think it will be an invaluable first approach to writing papers and grant applications like you demonstrated. Especially when you are having writer's block.

Andy, there are tools out there that can easily detect whether a text was written by AI. I use it for ideas, as a starting point or for checking concepts, etc... So, if a student is submitting a piece of work, it should be written by them, as humanly as possible.

I'm beginning my Electrical and Computer Engineering degree tomorrow. I discovered ChatGPT two days ago, and have been playing around with it. Truly revolutionary. Just from two days of use, I have decided to use it as my primary tool to supplement my studies. It can easily substitute a lecturer, study buddy and even examiner with ease. Will try to document my use of it throughout my degree.

Andy, the use of chatGPT is a concern that has circulated among admission officers. One of the statements that applicants will need to check in the near future in their application is that they wrote their essays. While I agree with your proposed use to serve as another editor "friend" or "mentor", essays and openings need to sound as the applicant's journey. Perhaps, you could elaborate in a future video. Happy to chat or zoom at some point. Just got your $10 bundle yesterday. As NIH grant reviewer, it is hard to read a truly bad grant, but it will be harder to dissect out the style to the bone of the logic. I think that would make it more opinionated. Great job, mate! Now, we are going to have Bard and other tools...

Wish I saw this 2 weeks ago before I handed in my PhD proposals. Great video

Congratulations on 100k bro! I am so proud of you!

I was your 1000th subscriber I still remember and now you've crossed the 100k mark. May you rise and go a long way!

Excellent info for anyone trying to succeed in life

Amazing, today I rewrite my CV cover letter in a very persuasive way. thanks for the update!

Thanks so much for the ideas. I have ASD and i am so Bad at writing Email and Letters, i usually need a few hours or days so send them and im even worse at emotional writing, so this could be a great help

Very good, I am getting a lot of ideas from your channel. I came across another interesting idea. I wrote a 10 page report with a one page single spaced executive summary. I’ll let chat GPT make a brief paragraph summary. It did a very good job. This occurred to me. If you put your executive summary or your introduction into chat GPT, to summarize, and chat GPT comes out as a garbled, confusing mess, it probably means that your human page of writing is not nearly as lucid as you hoped it was.

I was thinking of an appointment on your website for my PhD research proposal and after ChatGpt my problem is solved😄😄 Sorry. ,i am also worried thinking about future where AI will replace a huge Man force 🤔

Great share! I also find chatGPT helpful in writing artistic proposals and crafting artwork titles! They don't come immediately but after a few rounds, I usually ended up with clearer and sharper titles!!

Andy, thanks for much for your videos especially this one. I am doing my second masters with aspirations for completing my Ph.D. Your videos taught me to work smarter, not harder. Do you do one on one research support?

Perfectly explain and contribute to body of knowledge

Thankyou very much Andy,you gave superb idea,🤗

Make a video about how to get new ideas about research using chatgpt.

Hey Andy, thanks for your vlogs: they are very interesting. On your recommendation I had a crack using ChatGPT, but I found that I could not trust the output. I found that the ai - as a predictor of 'next word' - invented fundamentally flawed summaries.

Nature & science editors clearly stated that they will reject the manuscript if chatGTP is utilized.

If I am going to recruit a student based on their personal persuasive statement, I will accept the one who had written less persuasive or even a factual one of their own effort and make rather than the one written by ChatGPT. If a person is masking their lack of motivation or ability to make efforts in persuading others, educators and them will have an issue along the way. Of course, unless they keep eating ChatGPT for breakfast, lunch and dinner to always show persuasive! I still value genuine thoughts and efforts, unless the aim is just ticking the admission boxes to enter a course, no matter what!

This is an interesting and amazing AI tool. Will take us as researchers beyond our imagination. But it could be disadvantages of using it or could be misused. Thank you Andy

Congratulations for 1, 00,000. Amazing.

I use it to write announcements for my music platform. Makes them look great.

Hello Andy! Do you think having a personal website as a young researcher would be helpful? I think it will be really good and really helpful to me if you make a video about this topic. If it turns out to be a useful thing please give me some recommendations on how to go about creating a personal website and the things I should write about on my website

Exactly the video I requested! Thanks Andy 💖

Great video . More helpful these all videos sir.

I am a strong advocate of using tools such as chatGPT to improve productivity. Why not? Thanks for the wonderful sharing.

@Andy Could you make a video on where you think the border is between plagiarism / attesting it is your own work etc. If I write a paragraph or a research section, and my English is not the best or the most extensive, and I ask chatgpt to “clean it up” or “make it flow better”, does that count as “not my own work” when I gave it the paragraph etc to re write?

Your videos are amazing. I request you to also make a video on the format of Statement of Purpose (SoP). It will be very helpful for an aspiring PhD student. Thank you.

Hey Andy, good to see you getting SWOLE on RU-vid. You definitely deserve it!

sooo fun! We should find the right way to use the technology for better research, and there may be more functions to be explored!

Stupendous and tempting 😍

Looks good, but now comes the arms race when your competition is also using this means to persuade, lol. Perhaps put it through other paraphrasing AI sites for more options or choose what seems to converge between AI tools. A Robustness Analysis.

Hi Andy! Thank you for this. I had one silly question: which app/website do you use for chat GPT and is that free?

amazing work keep it up

One thing that i wonder is how you avoid plagiarism using ChatGPT. If i would copy and paste what the bot spits out - then they own the rights to that text...

I cant get it to provide references for some reason. It say's it cannot find references online. I then researched online & everyone said the references were fake.

Informative video, but my question is have you tested the chatGPT paraphrase against plagiarism tools such as Turnitin?

Well, I recommend the grant reviewers try something revolutionary such as look at the pure factual and leave the emotions on the side. As soon as someone appeals to emotions in a grant it should be put under extensive scrutiny before considered further.

Hi Dr. Andy great thanks for your regular motivational videos for early career researchers who are struggling with research. However with this tool, it is not accessible in some countries, especially having after registered it indicates that it's services are not available in your country, what advice would you give unto us who would to tap into using for our research studies ?

Have a question that this can be detected by other AI tools that these words were polished by ChatGPT?

Just yesterday I've used ChatGPT to edit an entire scientific article... English is not the first language for me or my colleagues, and the article they wrote was quite badly written... Like one of the reviewers said "It was very hard for me to read the manuscript as the grammar problem often changed the meaning conveyed in the sentences." I used a seed prompt that I think was good enough for this kind of editing... We went through the entire article paragraph by paragraph... It produced very well-written and grammatically correct text... There were a couple of funny moments... Like, it usually just gave me rewritten text, but one time it said that "the paragraph doesn't seem to have any grammatical errors"... Unexpected... Then in one case it decided to move one of the sentences to the end of the paragraph... I thought "hmmm, i wonder why it did that"... Then I thought "wait, I can just ask"... So I asked, and it explained how it was more logical that way and that it tied in the facts in the paragraph together... And that was correct... And when we were editing the Results section of the article, I entered the next paragraph, and it said that it seems that the paragraph doesn't present any results, but rather just gives background information on the topic, and that it should probably be moved somewhere else.

Grant reviewers also asking Chat GPT, which application is the most persuasive...

Great!

Andy Have you done this successfully?

Chat gpt gives information about doi of paper which I found to be wrong.

Great hacks! I wonder how many startupers will be using ChatGPT this exact way while applying for the next cohort of Y Combinator (with deadline on April 12th). It's going to be a showdown: who is the best prompt engineer? :)

LOL, very good; not only about ChatGPT.

I wanna do post doc in medical science, online, can anyone suggest anywhere??

If we check, it will clearly mention that it is a AI generated text. Won't it?. Any solution for that. ? Plz reply

Thank you for demonstrating the re versing ability of ChatGPT. This is a function I could see it being a big help in trying to get one's writing style changed to where one was not thinking. I do think it will lead to generic sounding sentencing when in some situations the core idea is still not quite developed. I tried ChatGPT as a substitute for Google search with the trick question "What causes global warming?" It returned the United Nation's IPCC response. The correct answer was "The cause of global warming is not know." So much for AI for now, but maybe it can help a bit with some word smithing.

Bro, there is someone else's photo on your google scholar profile why?

You are in Uk?

Super dupa 2nd viewer So apt👍

Soon, everyone will be doing it!!😆😆 Therefore, demands of reverse chatGPT algorithms will grow very soon.

Perhaps grant reviewers will start using ChatGTP to decide which grant applications to accept? Then we end up with a sort of artificial evolutionary arms race as ChatGTP continually tries to outsmart itself!

A+

Applying A.I. to academia

Sir i am Anitha from India, Currently i am doing research work i need to submit thesis within two months due to family situation plz help me in this difficult situation

using AI for reserach in the kitchen at 3 am!

And co

I want to know how to distill all the knowledge floating out there and make it appear before me.

If I ask ChatGPT to perform data analysis for me, will that data analysis be considered plagiarism?

Fantastic! I also think it can be useful as a minor-co-advisor. It's most useful if you already have a really good understanding of the topic. But it's been useful for me in explaining things like the intuition behind parameters in some math equations.

"Look how many authors are there, absolutely ridiculous" 😂

What an amazing potential this tech has. I love it, well apart from the PhD application. I know this flowery language is supposed to evoke positive emotions but it just wants to make me throw up. For something like that application I like to imagine the actual human having a conversation with me and saying these exact words. I'd feel so weirded out, because this is not how a normal person would speak, unless they're full of crap and trying to cover it by using fancy and persuasively distracting language. But I guess that's fitting since the AI was asked to write in the style of a politician. Their speeches are notorious for being 20 minutes long and not saying anything of substance.

I'm conflicted. I'm not sure I fully agree with the advice here about grants. That's a risky strategy and could invoke unfavorable opinions about me and my work if it came out. Ultimately, some of that text, isn't yours, and for all intents and purposes, it’s fake.

How do you summarize large files? ChatGPT told me it could only summarize 2048 words on my platform.

ChatGPT is at capacity right now :\

I think chatgpt have some fake results in research litrature review.....some time I have search an article about some topic and it gives me the citation which actually not found

I have the worst supervisor!definitely thinking of quitting!

I think you have to be careful with the balance between flowery bs and scientific language - depending on the body providing the grant. If you put the time to act is now in an health investigator grant application in Australia I feel like you might get laughed at lol

Brilliant as always

Yes, but people will use this to straight-up plagiarize. I dread my students using it.

A month to ARC discovery grant submission 🥵

This sounds like an awful idea considering the political biases that have already been demonstrated in chatgpt. We don’t need another layer of unconscious/unknown biases in science, especially from a centralized source.

The persuasion and application examples sound too full of fluff TBH

Tbh I'm not convinced. The first revision is much lengthier than the original, and those grant abstracts have stringent word limits. The repetition of "necessary" and "need" leads to a logical fallacy and lost me. It makes so many unsupported claims that my bs detector went in the red. I find the original more convincing and the second one dangerously blabla-y and PR-y - the kind that doesn't have a place in science. It breaks the first rule of Strunk & White: omit needless words. I think really the best way to improve a text is to show it to your colleagues.

All open AI, give politically appropriate answers

Ha first viewer!
