FOR WHAT. [/quote]

+1 Just as OP points out, they never give examples. I think it's because they use it for stupid stuff like adjusting the tone of an email or doing some basic analysis that anyone with a brain and a modest attention span could do.

I hesitate to write this because I don't want to insult people who use AI (but then, they have to problem insulting me, by constantly posting that if I get poor results from AI it must be because I didn't use it correctly because it's axiomatic that the AI works perfectly)... my impression is AI is good for two things:
1. Coding (not my field, but I'll accept the testimonials here)
2. People who have difficulty with tasks like writing emails and performance reviews or organizing their thoughts generally[/quote]

As a researcher it's so useful. A little bit too useful honestly.[/quote]

Can you elaborate? AI draws upon various things from the internet right? [b]As a researcher, wouldn’t best practice be to consult primary sources?[/b][/quote]

Of course it is. Everything needs to be verified. But when there is a ton of information out there AI can organize it.[/quote]

Can you explain how you use it? Are you using it to pull research or to organize your own findings? [/quote]

I am using it to gather information on a topic ahead of an interview[/quote]

How is it different than just googling the topic and browsing the top results?[/quote]

It's much faster.

Also bear in mind it is not like the Internet is all primary sources that are accurate. As a researcher I question everything I read whether it be AI or a blog post or a government report.[/quote]

+1 Also I ask it to provide me with links and sources. That way when it gives me the info I’m able to quickly click on each source and read and review for myself. It’s like a curated google[/quote]

Did you know that your specific search terms used to be like a curated google?

Seriously, WTF does that even mean?[/quote]
