Summary from the TLDR Marketing newsletter

There are several issues with OpenAI's Deep Research in terms of accuracy and reliability. While it promises to streamline research, the tool struggles with data retrieval. It uses unreliable sources like Statcounter and Statista, leading to incorrect and inconsistent results. The lack of precision in answering complex, probabilistic questions makes it difficult to trust the output. It is unknown whether AI systems will ever be accurate enough for dependable research.
