I think learning how to read and understand scientific papers, and therefore actively training and flexing your critical thinking abilities, is such a valuable life skill that you shouldn’t outsource the thinking process to AI.

I recommend reading this instead, and then trying the concepts you learn from it out in topics that personally interest you by looking at something like Google Scholar or any other search engine for scientific papers or open access journals.

That way you can also compare your own research to what this tool is outputting to see what it missed, or what you might have missed, always under the assumption that the AI hallucinates, while you hopefully don’t have that issue.

Thanks for your point of view. Its great advice for someone already well on their academic journey.

ELI is built as an on-ramp for those that don't have the education al background to get over the learning curve required for this method to be practical.

The book thumbnails caught my eye. The little hedgehog explained character whaa quite cute. I read an ELI for one of them, it was entertaining and practical. It was a little long, I would look around more.
