Was this written by an AI? because it's veering hard to a similar topic after the first paragraph.

Bad example, in both cases you need to know what you want to write, and how to express it. I'm of the position that the approach used by OP will lead to a shallower understanding of the topics he delegates to the AI for research, and that he himself will not have the necessary foundations to generate advances (novel things, sure, he'll get from the AI recombining the current state of the art).
