I've just been using LLMs (specifically DuckDuckGo's chat) to help find research and articles to dive into.

I don't really see the point of asking LLMs to summarize something for me when I can just read about it myself.

I will do chats back and forth about specific topics, but then always ask for follow up resources I could dive into.

This isn't fool proof - I'll sometimes get resources that aren't really what I'm looking for - but it feels better than searching the web.

Especially when I don't have a clear idea of what search terms to look for.

I haven't tried things like the Socratic method though or having LLMs teach me something! I've really just been focused on reading lately.
