My naive, yet practical, view is that all LLMs produce output that reflects what was most commonly found on the internet. So if your area of interest has a lot of slop, then that is exactly what Deep Research will return. So if you want to do "real deep research" into some topic, then you start with the various summaries and drill down. I use Google Scholar to locate papers, then I search for the cited papers. It is tedious, but the only way that I know which avoids the pitfalls of random regurgitation of easily found materials. Currently AGI is marketing hype. Critical thinking with real understanding, i.e. knowledge building hasn't yet been automated. You need to put in the intellectual effort.

That sounds almost exactly what ChatGPT's Deep Research does. (Not to be confused with Grok's which seems to be doing mostly busywork) It's a bit like a crawler, goes through papers, then follows down to other relevant papers. One advantage I see it seems to be able to search through movies as well. But in the end you get a stack of reading materials and still have to do the work of reading them. I did try to get it to summarize them into instructions but it drops the main points.
