    How is an LLM supposed to help you with that?

    I have it read and review a couple paragraphs of a research article, many many times, to create a distribution of what was likely said in those paragraphs, in a tabular format. I’ll also work with it to create an outline of an idea I’m working on to keep me focused, and help develop my research plan. I’ll then ask it to drill down into each sub-point and give me granular points to focus on. Obviously, I’m steering, but its not too difficult to use it in such a way that it creates a scaffolding for you to work from.

    If you use LLMs to help you write stuff, you are wasting everyone else’s time.

    If you aren’t using LLMs to help you write stuff, you are wasting your own time.

      I don’t think that sounds like a good way to make a good paper that effectively communicates something complex, for the reasons in my previous comment.
