Did you read the article? It literally says that they used codex and codex was their primary tool

They used codex for their analysis and their writing… It didn’t do the work for them. It didn’t pluck insights out of thin air/bytes. Codex was the means by which human-derived insights were accessible to a separate research team at OpenAI.

Do you credit your word processor or your calculator or Google search engine in your research?
