The study introduces the concept of the "Research Automaton," a hypothetical but increasingly plausible system capable of producing science-like outputs without meaningful human involvement. This development is no longer speculative, as several AI tools already perform individual research tasks with high efficiency. Generalist large language models such as ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, and DeepSeek are increasingly paired with specialized tools for literature synthesis, data analysis, academic writing, and manuscript editing.
