That's fine but it's about the same as you'll get from an encyclopedia also, which makes sense as that's just where GPT got it from anyway. Nothing revolutionary in the ability to read encyclopedia articles. We've had that forever.

sure, but with like a 100x improvement in usability -- chatgpt is helpful in figuring out what stuff to read (at least for me) so that when I go to the actual paper or a book I know what to focus on

otherwise you can say "why do you need google, it's the same as you'll get from the website"

moreover, I found that chatgpt is pretty decent at rephrasing a convoluted concept or a paragraph in a research paper, or even giving me ideas on the research directions

I mean, same with coding -- I treat it as a smart autocomplete

I could go to google and look for a .csv containing a list of all US States

Or, I can write

  const US_STATES = [

and let copilot complete it for me -- 5 minutes saved?
