It synthesizes a more comprehensive report, using more sources, more varied sources, more data, and broader insights than a human analyst can produce in 1-2 days of research and writing.

I'm not confused about this. If you don't agree, I will assume it's probably because you've never employed a human to do similar work in the past. Because it's not particularly close. It's night and day. *Note that I'm not saying 20 minutes of deep research beats 9 months of investigative journalism with private interviews with primary sources or anything like that. I'm talking about asking an analyst on your team to do a deep dive into XYZ and have something on your desk tomorrow EOD.

Weird, I'm an attorney and no one is getting rid of associates in order to have LLMs do the research, no less so when they actually hallucinate sources (something associates wont do). I can't imagine that being significantly different in other domains.

		> I can't imagine that being significantly different in other domains. It’s not. There is no industry where AI performs “better” than humans reliably without torturing the meaning of the word (for example, OP says AI is better at analysis iff the act of analysis does not include any form of communication to find or clarify information from primary sources)

I like the idea that AI is objectively better at doing analysis if you simply assume that it takes a person nine months to make a phone call
