When AI helps with your research, you should mention it — just like you cite a book. Honesty makes your work trustworthy.

Wikipedia gets a bad rap in school, but it's still one of the best places to start a research project. The trick is knowing how — not whether — to use it. But the rule is more nuanced than "never use it." Smart researchers — including AI researchers — start at Wikipedia and use it as a launchpad to better sources.

Smart researchers don't trust any single source. They cross-check claims across at least three independent sources before treating something as fact.

Fabricated citations are AI's most dangerous failure mode for research. Knowing the signs saves you from accidentally citing something that doesn't exist.

P-value is one of the most abused numbers in research. Here is what it actually says — and what it does not. 'Model B is no better than model A.' 'The new prompt does not change user satisfaction.' A low p-value means the boring story would rarely produce data that looks like what you saw.

When you ask an LLM to 'analyze this data,' you get a guess. When you ask it to write reproducible code, you get a collaborator.

Sometimes a network memorizes, then — long after you would have stopped training — suddenly generalizes. That is grokking, a real and weird phenomenon. Why it matters beyond the toy Grokking suggests that 'more training' can sometimes qualitatively change a model's behavior — not just improve a score but switch to a different algorithm internally.
