Use case overview
Author used ChatGPT Deep Research and Agent Mode for research help and writing assistance while writing an academic social science paper.
Reported experience
What they did
The author used ChatGPT 5.5, Deep Research, and Agent Mode while writing a social science paper, mainly to get past writing blocks and support their thinking. They had it analyze papers, suggest phrasing, compare political actors’ demands with a final law, and help with citations and rewriting, but the person still had to judge and correct the output because it mishandled sources and theory.
How it went
It was useful for momentum and thought support, but the author says it was mostly ineffective for core academic work. They report wrong or invented sources, dropped citations, weak scientific wording, poor grasp of basic political and social theories, and even Deep Research pulling Wikipedia despite instructions to use reputable scientific sources.
Example prompts
I am writing a social science paper on [topic] for [field or journal]. Find the key recent and foundational studies, summarize their methods and findings, and identify gaps my paper could address, citing real sources with links. Then draft an outline and a rough literature review section based on my argument: [your argument]. Finish with a list of every citation so I can verify each one myself.
