Just started this project last week and don't have anything written up or properly documented yet.
I am trying to see how far I can push AIs to do a research project in physics. I did a PhD in plasma physics a decade ago - I am using the literature survey I did while looking for a problem as my starting point.
The plan is:
- Using a few research papers to ground the state of the world, see if I can nudge it towards coming up with a few research problems to tackle. The problem needs to be (1) unsolved and (2) something that is probably solvable in a timeboxed fashion.
- Let the AI read more papers to refine the hypothesis, and come up with a plan.
- Let another agent write code to run numerical simulations.
- And finally do synthesis.
I am curious to see how far it's possible to push the models in this direction. At the very least it hopefully helps new grad students in a copilot capacity.
