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?
