    As opposed to Google searching manually, which always has accurate outputs and never outputs falsehoods as fact. 🙂

    As long as you double check the source of an answer I don’t see an issue.

      If you’re double-checking the sources, both to make sure that they exist, and they are accurate, you may as well do the research without using an LLM in the first place.

      You’re just adding to your workload unnecessarily in that case.

        That’s not necessarily true, LLMs are a very useful research aid because they give you a place to start. They give you a high level summary and may cite sources which may/may not exist, and it’s up to you to fact check and develop your own opinions. They can also summarize complex texts and filter out SEO garbage that would otherwise clutter google search results. Research still works the same as before, LLMs are just an accelerator if used correctly.
