Someone asked if AI / LLMs would make my research easier by, e.g., helping me to collate large volumes of research instantly, sparing me a lot of grind & struggle. I told them that struggling w/ the research is actually essential to forming the insights that make the project interesting or valuable.

"helping me to collate large volumes of research instantly" and every bit of which you'd correctly feel the need to double or triple check

Not to mention that LLM "analysis" is geared towards sounding accurate rather than being accurate.

So their idea was to just bypass your own brain. Sure, that’ll save time.

yes -- using a deterministic system like a large database, which does at scale tasks that you understand in principle -- is quite different

A good professor makes your research easier by doing that very thing, and you sit happily and listen to them.
