Student seeks AI strategies for novel research idea generation

A university student is seeking advice on how to effectively use AI, specifically mentioning "opus 5.5," to generate novel research ideas and test hypotheses, particularly within the field of computer vision. The student finds current AI capabilities limited in generating forward-looking research directions and is struggling with prompt engineering to uncover unique problems and solutions under time constraints. They are looking for strategies beyond basic prompting to stress-test ideas and are facing challenges with a busy PhD supervisor. AI

IMPACT Researchers are exploring how to leverage AI for novel idea generation and hypothesis testing, indicating a potential shift in research methodologies.
