dcterms.abstractAI like ChatGPT sparks public concerns. These emerging technologies raise questions about what it means to be human and to what extent they will support or replace existing jobs. As scholars, we are also forced to reckon with what it means to be a researcher and how AI influences our identity and profession. We address the latter questions based on an extensive interview with ChatGPT and its self-assessment of research capabilities based on the Researcher Development Framework. The assessment shows expert-level capabilities within some areas, but is open to divergent interpretations. We suggest the AI user, the AI prompter, and the AI sidekick as potential future roles that we may assume. We discuss whether the human researcher is dead and the implications of AI for our researcher identity. We suggest research questions that will help us prepare for the future, maintain agency, redefine our identity, and influence future AI development.
