Abstract
In this discussion text (proposed as an opinionated exposition on a relevant scientific issue, with the aim of stimulating further discussion in a broader scientific forum) the author comments on mistakes that should be avoided when trying to use artificial intelligence (AI) in research, with special focus on soil science and environmental sciences. The author indicates aspects of research where it would not be reasonable (and/or correct) to use AI, while showing other aspects where an appropriate use of AI tools could be of real help for researchers in these fields and the whole society. The use of AI in investigation is a cutting-edge theme needing reflection and proposals to extract its best without causing an inappropriate deviation of resources, as well as a waste of time for people involved in direct research tasks or assessment, and without provoking undesirable side effects.
