Free Deep Research—What’s the Catch?
Free access to cutting-edge AI sounds like a dream. But when an AI model can generate a detailed research report in minutes, you have to ask: what happens to human expertise when 'research' becomes instant?
OpenAI’s Deep Research model will soon be available to free-tier users of ChatGPT, democratizing access to advanced AI-driven research. For the past months exclusive to premium users paying $200 monthly, this model uses test-time thinking, breaking down complex questions into steps before delivering highly detailed answers.
While exciting, the shift sparks big questions about human reliance on AI-generated information, especially given its accuracy challenges. We’ve already seen mistakes in Google’s AI-powered ads and ChatGPT’s errors with sports rosters, and hallucinating in 'scientific' results, raising concerns about unchecked trust in AI outputs.
- AI agents may automate tasks but remain slow and unreliable.
- Test-time thinking improves accuracy, yet errors persist in high-profile demos.
- Unifying models aims to simplify user experience and boost performance.
As AI evolves, knowing when to trust it, and when to double-check—is crucial. Trust but verify, everytime you use AI.
