Generative AI like ChatGPT can help you explore topics and brainstorm search terms in the initial stages of the research process. However, you should not use it to find articles (due to hallucinations, bias, and incompleteness).
AI tools like Consensus and Elicit can be useful for identifying key articles and terminology.
