I feel really bad for OP... They really fumbled the headline on this one and it's inciting a lot of strong reactions.

Look at their post history. A year ago they were talking up this cool tool:

"A smart citation index that displays the context of citations and classifies their intent using deep learning"

"We extracted 900M citation statements from 26M full-text scientific articles. You can now search all of them directly"

And they've gotten relatively little traction on it. A few upvotes, a comment here or there...

But then they get cocky with this headline, implying that any user could effectively use this tool, and that the tool would wildly overdeliver.

I'm not a scientist. Not even an armchair one. And to be honest, I don't know much about research papers and how they cite each other.

But I can see the value of "Search for something, find related papers, and see who's citing who and a good guess at whether they've been supported or contrasted by the citation.

... I also see they're using paywalls, though... so it's not like they're giving this away.

But try and see it's merits, even if it can't even hope to live up to the headline it's been presented with.
