The prompt
Give me a literature review on topic for someone with this background: level. Cover: the core problem; the 3 to 5 main approaches, with the key papers or projects you know for each (title, year); how they compare on accuracy, cost and complexity; what is settled versus contested; and the open questions. Mark any citation you are not certain exists so I can verify it. End with a reading order of 5 sources. Before you answer, check your draft against every instruction above and fix anything that misses.
Why it works
- Organizes by approach, not by paper.
- Separates settled from contested.
- Flags uncertain citations to avoid fabricated references.
