Best AI research assistant

There's a pretty bad typo on the main page (bonus points if you spot it) and that's why I would consider this to be of questionable utility. But for others, the main objection seems to be 'cognitive offloading' (which I guess is our new anti-AI buzzword of the week). The more pressing question is why we even have literature reviews in academic publications anyways - after all, we live in an era where we can (in theory) just link to the relevant research. If only the publishers would allow us. Anyhow, my all-round round of cynicism here is prompted by Louis-François Bouchard, who writes on LinkedIn, "I would've loved that in the PhD" (the post was 'suggested' by LinkedIn, which tells me it wasn't getting traction the proper way; Bouchard, like me, is an "ex-PhD Student" but not an actual PhD). I'm to the point where I don't really believe anyone on AI these days - not the people promoting it, not the people writing about it, nor the people criticizing it.
