(Companion artifacts are fully co-created papers with AI as primary researchers, guided by a human. They are prone to the natural errors of our current LLMs, yet increasingly reliable — and, even so, informative and guiding in many true ways. All of this research has been triple-checked across multiple models and by a human researcher.)
