I've been playing around with using gpt3 as a research assistant and it can work surprisingly well.

It's tricky to get the prompts right I think and you won't necessarily get novel insights, more like the distilled common wisdom of an area.

You can ask it to pretend to write the response to a subreddit. And you get an approximation of a subreddit filled with the type of experts you want, instantly answering your questions. Although they occasionally just spout non-sense.
