FAQ
Can the AI's academic concept definitions go straight into a paper?
Do not. The framework is usable, but every citation must be verified on CNKI or Web of Science. The AI fabricates references at very high rates. Treat AI output as a "starting point" and rely on authoritative literature for real definitions.
Can the AI explain concepts in obscure disciplines?
For mainstream disciplines (psychology, management, education) accuracy is high. For emerging or interdisciplinary fields (embodied cognition, computational social science), the AI often gives outdated or confused explanations. For obscure fields have it first list "the 5 most authoritative scholars in this field" before expanding.
