> If I could ask ChatGPT to "summarize the new book by XYZ", then spend an hour or two asking the questions _I_ have about the book from it, then buying the book would be a net negative.

I believe you lose some data when doing so, summarizing is good when you want to get the gist of it, but not good when you want the actual details.

I know, this sounds very obvious but some people seriously jump to a summary directly and believe that is enough when they research.
