Current NNs can not even just read a book, what are you talking about? I am not talking about "read the book and write summary in 123 words" kinds of tasks, I mean "read the book and answer my questions about it". All it can is either making the book as the part of the prompt or making the book as the part of pre-learning stage (very energy-hungry) but neither way fits the task of studying from the state of not being acknowledged on the book to the state of being acknowledged.
It's not about research, it is just googling without seing webpages phoning someone else's computer to google instead of you.
