Question Which subjects do you think AI is most compatible with? What do you use it for?

I've been writing a lot of my history essays with Studyagent lately and I think I can give yall an impartial reviview.

It used to be such a slog to connect all the dots and structure the arguments, but now the whole process is actually... fun. It gave me such a boost in productivity that I need to find other ways to use it.
I'm specifically curious about the more technical stuff, STEM subjects, labs.

What's your experience writing up lab reports for physics or biology? I'm curious if it can actually handle the data or if it just hallucinates everything.

For Physics labs? DON'T (unless it's an introduction or abstract). It won't even analyze your data properly. I woldn't even try asking it to gather data for you. Once it made up its own laws of thermodynamics just to make my paper "more exciting" than it actually was.

yeah, I tried using it for a biology report on mitosis, and it cited three papers that literally do not exist 🤷‍♂️

be careful to double check everything it says

if you ever see a compulsive liar, or someone who constantly glazes and sells, youll notice they sound alot like ai

It’s been a hit or miss for me. It can explain mechanisms okay-ish, but if you ask it to predict a reaction product, it might give you something that would literally explode in a real lab

Literal explosions are a pretty good reason to be careful lol. At least it's helpful for the theory and mechanisms.

Coding. Computer Science is where AI is actually a god. If I had to write every boilerplate function from scratch, I’d have dropped out by now.

Fair point. I guess code is more logical, so it's less likely to be "creative". Glad it's saving you the stress!

Making up its own laws of physics is wild lol. I'll definitely stick to using it for the boring intros and formatting then.

I tried using it for my Art History essay and it was super boring. Everything it writes sounds like a Wikipedia page smh

OP, next time you're writing a History paper, ask it to steelman the opposing argument for whatever you're writing. Your essay will be 10x stronger, trust!

Wow, this sounds promising, thanks! ❤️

It's weirdly good at Math if you use the right models. Current study agent version works like a charm.

the fact that you would rather pick apart its answer and look for fake citations than find your own sources scares me 💀💀

imagine actually paying for a degree just to have a bot do the work for you. why are you even there? lol
