This AI Tool Wrote My Literature Review - and It’s a Game-Changer

[@SamwelJabez]

I really appreciated the insights in this video-AI tools can truly make writing more efficient. Over time, I've been using BeLikeNative in a completely different way for my literature reviews. Instead of generating content, it fine-tuned my drafts-fixing grammar mistakes, improving awkward phrasing, and suggesting clearer ways to present my arguments. It also helped with citation formatting, ensuring everything was properly referenced. It made a big difference in the final result. For anyone working on academic writing, BeLikeNative is definitely a tool worth checking out!

Your sense of humour is amazing.... The effects in your presentation are brilliant...

[@parthosen5942]

I highly recommend not wasting 99% of your time thinking about which AI tool to use or how to make an LLM do your research for you, especially not literature reviews. This is valuable time you're wasting that you could have spent thoroughly reading papers. LLMs are useful in the initial ideation phase and in the "robustness" phase where you want to make sure that there are no holes left in your paper (they are also excellent for coding and typesetting). They can also be used to pick papers, but the EASIEST way is to look at the most cited papers in the field and simply follow the trail of its references. DO NOT use AI tools to summarize papers if you actually care about the work that you're doing. Even if you get a pub in some D tier journal, you are basically still clueless about your field of work, congratulations.

If someone want to be a good researcher how to start and from where, is there any courses or recommendations you give?

[@iyinusa]

Agree with you 100%. Research work purpose is to allow indepth study of previous works and determining it's applications to your work and improvements to the knowledge contributions. Using AI/LLM tools will take all that away, and thorough justification to the research work will be undermined.

[@teotzinpruneda1486]

This channel is promoting cheating just with the economic interest of AI advertising...

[@user-lq6lx1xq6g]

Agreed 100%. Never ever use AI to do academic research. Literature reviews should never be done with AI.

[@mohammedahmedjalloh531]

Agree!

[@kmason5241]

No free version anymore, it seems, Andy. It says free to use tier, but if you sign up, it only wants you to use a paid tier with $16/month kick-off pricing.

[@patrickthorp3816]

I am interested in the knock on effect of humans no longer needing to learn, compile or synthesise information...what does this mean for our ability to think critically.

[@beneditofredericocongolojr1567]

Generalized mass "dumbification" of the human genre. We need a long term solution. This is a oncoming problem. In a not so distant future, grown people will need help to tie their shoe laces! - Oh wait, that's already happenin!!!

[@quentinkumba6746]

This is very easy to understand because 99% of people live like that right now. Nothing much will change for most people in this regard. Ask the man in street when he last compiled and synthesised information and he/she is going to look at you with a blank face.

[@patrickthorp3816]

@@quentinkumba6746 That person went through a schooling system where at one point they required to do this on a regular basis. Its the foundation of knowledge and opinion making. This now enables students to do less and less of it as a basic requirement which is concerning. That man on the street did it at some point in their lives which assisted them in forming a fairly solid ability generally to process and think about information for themselves

[@JonFernquest]

Now all that's needed is an automated iterative cycle for revising and improving writing. Creating it as an open source open LLM app running on one's machine for free is probably doable as well.

Is there a way to give a LLM (tool) a KZbin link in order for the LLM to debunk the claims made in the said KZbin video?

[@alecsmart100]

Can we edit in word for this

[@KOKOPIKOSS]

Hey Andy can you suggest an ai tool that writes individual articles using a book that i wrote? Im lazy....

[@abhishekcp2024]

If you are doing theory do this also include equations? Also what about figures?

[@beneditofredericocongolojr1567]

That's what we're all wondering about! In the end, most of these tools are just basic. And can't really take you the extra mile. Many other so called "academic ai tools" can do this. And they're much cheaper. This one's just so expensive

[@bdhanes]

❤ FABULOUS!!! Gonna spend the $22 and go through the process just for shits and giggles. 😂 Thank you SO MUCH for your awesome content. 💪🏻

[@soulvey]

Is this not robbing the individual of the opportunity to develop a particular skill? Is there not a risk of creating two distinct generations of academics - one that can compile research and find the line of argument, and one that can't because it relied on AI to do it? This feels like cheating to me. There are tools to support, and then there are tools that do it for you - it's the difference between using a word processor to write an essay and having someone write it for you on their own computer.

[@lalaurlalala]

I think the best use for this would be a researcher who is already well versed in literature reviews, and now just wants to expidite their process

[@Serious_Bee]

The technology is out there already, so there isn't much we can do. I worry about future research quality, as most students/researchers are focused on spitting out as many articles as they can in the least time possible. For me, the key is critical thinking.

[@jameelabduljalil25]

Andy, you have brought tens of tools with "the best AI tool for academic writing". Which one is the best😂?

[@edscholar28]

Is this better than Claude, or would you put what this writes in Claude?🤔

[@DrAndyStapleton]

This is in the "do it for you" category of AI tools. I'd still improve and work on the literature review with a tool like Claude - this gives you an excellent jumping off spot.

[@edscholar28]

Does this ​ generates a better draft lit review than notebook lm? Thank you, I appreciate you and your channel. ​@@DrAndyStapleton

@DrAndyStapleton Tried it out with nearly 100 pdfs. and my outline. Mind blowing results 🤯 Thanks again.

[@superwomanaagyih8841]

Suggest some ai tool for research introduction

[@francesbarkley1747]

Is this not.... unethical? Not AI in and of itself, but your inclusion of the AI detection test makes it seem like you are supporting the use of this AI tool in unethical ways, i.e., ways in which you would want the writing to appear not written by AI when it was. Just wondering if I'm missing something.

[@privatename1250]

I checked out the pricing and it is just one of the listed features. I can see some use cases for creating synthesised documents for my students to critically review. It's quite an expensive game though!

[@eskimopie155]

Do you ever get paid to do these tests directly from the AI tool maker? I’m not against that as that’s how a lot of content is supported, but a review coming from one’s own free will holds more weight than if they paid for it.

[@DrAndyStapleton]

@@eskimopie155 I disclose if they have paid for a review. This tool is not a paid review

[@eskimopie155]

@@DrAndyStapleton Cool. I love your enthusiasm in testing all these to find the good ones.

It is strange that you didn't talk about the chinese AI deep seek

[@kmason5241]

Not really. You don't know the video recording schedule and KZbin publishing schedule. Most KZbinrs have videos lined up a few weeks in advance so there is continuity. I think he has mentioned he will upload a DeepSeek video soon. If there was a chance to see him run it in the Nvidia DGX desktop even better. But too early for that device by a month.

Andy, regardless of how much i appreciate your videos and content i have to admit that this is a very bad video. i have to inform all the viewers that this thing does not work - at least in my case. Tried 5 times now to get some results, but the only thing i did actually got is the same error over and over again about connection lost.

[@edscholar28]

@@Dr.Kyriazidis It worked well for me. Tried the paid version and it blew my mind. This thing synthesized nearly 100 docs, some I've read or reviewed, some I haven't , and put it in the outline structure I provided. This AI did much more than I anticipated. Game changer!

I think this video draws a bit on the inethical side of things. I wouldn't use it for anything more than an idea for the structure and assistance with finding research quicker.

[@Nothingweseeistrulytrue]

Research is going to die if you approach it with AI. AI can help at least for locating existing literature on the topic being studied and summarising some of the pdfs.

[@SamYoungnz]

Ummm... but this isn't the academic's original writing or skull sweat... yes, it is polished by human eyes, but all this is not scholarly thinking. It is machine filtered, machine organised, machine edited using tools, every step of the way. Interesting that the plagiarism tool detection is so variable. Would have liked to have seen TurnItIn results (is that the most common?). Sigh. But then again, does this matter...? I am very conflicted about the opportunities this provides and the skill erosion this may create
