At this stage you are teaching the machine. It’s not helping you.
suspect a big reason why many academics and others who work in areas where getting facts RIGHT is key are disinterested in using LLMs for research:

Don’t worry about copilot, Microsoft. Let’s start by embedding your meeting app in your calendar app. Let’s work up to saving a file with a - or / in the title. Why would we trust developers who can’t do those things to design something that reads our documents for us? Hilarious
