NASA Astrophysicist: ChatGPT O1 Achieves Year-Long Task in Hour

September 15, 2024, Kyle Kabasarez, a scientific employee of NASA, spoke about his experience in using artificial intelligence in scientific work. According to him, the neural network Openai Chatgpt O1 was able to recreate the code for its doctoral dissertation in an hour using six requests.

Kabasarez said that he had previously spent 10 months on the development of this code on his own. The scientist noted that the neural network created the working version of the code described in the methodological section of his research work. He also emphasized the important difference: the ChatGPT O1 used its own synthetic data that it asked for it to create, and not the real astronomical data that will be used in the present work.

Despite the impressive result, the scientist pointed to some restrictions. He explained that the full -fledged operation of the program will require additional input data and processing performed using specialized software. For example, for the analysis of galactic images and conducting the necessary calculations, a separate software is needed.

Kabasares also noted the need to check some aspects of the code, such as processing the regional effects and the correctness of the execution of the collapse. According to him, the generated code is only the basis and requires refinement for use with real data.
