I've been experimenting with LLM autoresearch. I prompted Sol to make difftastic faster without changing output on the test suite, and log everything it tried: https://github.com/Wilfred/difftastic/blob/c6e9c6fed4c71276a8b0e377c92695c3d929dc7f/PERF_RESEARCH_LOG.md It found some interesting performance tweaks, although it's too tolerant of complexity.

I'd heard the conventional wisdom that UX research states that mice are more efficient than keyboards, but turns out there's virtually no research on this!

Whilst LLMs don't always give an accurate answer, the UI is really compelling. I keep finding users whose favourite way of doing research is an LLM.
