Why gen AI deep research won't replace journalists and PhDs any time soon

The arrival of Google's Gemini Deep Research model raised concerns about the future of journalism, but it has become clear that AI won't replace journalists or PhDs soon. These AI tools can assist in researching complex topics and finding relevant information across different fields, yet they still struggle with context and deep insights into controversial subjects. The limitations of these tools highlight the ongoing need for human expertise in journalism and research.

Despite their potential, AI tools often prioritize lower-quality sources over credible expert opinions, which can lead to misinformation. For instance, while researching quantum security, it was evident that AI tools failed to cite significant works from leading experts. The integration of AI into research processes must improve to enhance the quality of information and support rather than replace human writers.

• AI tools struggle with context and deep insights into complex topics.

• Credible sources are often overlooked in favor of lower-quality content.
