Most People are Researching With AI in All the Wrong Ways and If We Don't Find Solutions for This, It Could Ruin Future Generations

Researching on Perplexity and Gemini is actually a very bad way to do deep research since many hallucinations can easily bleed into the answers. It's difficult to notice how pronounced it is unless you're intimately familiar with the subject. What you really want is something that will allow you to upload hundreds of real credible books on the topic to an AI that is siloed off from everything else. This ensures that it will stick to the facts that it has (the books) while also allowing you to dive muuuuuch deeper into the subjects you're researching without having to know a lot about it. And if you're adding your story world and the relationship structure via knowledge base, then you can effectively bypass heavy research altogether and instead have it infuse the relevant information from the non-fictional work into the beats you've already created. Doing this saved me over a year of researching and has given me such great levels of depth, it's fundamentally different than anything you could ever get from GPT or Gemini. A lot of people don't understand just how powerful AI is right now because most applications out there are failing to deliver the true value. Their entire business models are based on a 20th Century paradigm. But when you find the ones who are really at the forefront of these changes, it will blow your mind. I'm just glad that me and others are thinking about this because if we don't, more and more people will adopt fundamentally distorted views of reality that will become much more accepting at scale. And if our worldviews are distorted that much, how can we expect to ever forge a cohesive future that we want to live in and that will allow us to function in our everyday lives? We need grounded truth. That's 1000 times more important than we realize. Without that, we will be doomed to fail, as a species.
