AI Research Insight: Iterative Dialogue Outperforms Autoresearch
tokenbender · x · 2026-09-02
The author shares observations on AI-assisted research: research directions that genuinely pushed beyond their intuition typically arose from iterative dialogues over several days. In contrast, attempts to use AI for autoresearch on ambitious projects were largely disappointing, suggesting interactive dialogue is more effective than automated exploration for deep research tasks.
