Using llms to summarize and learn information can be really useful, but check sources, just like you should for other online tools, and at the library too. The same best practices apply to this and education is important for proper tool use, like with anything, understand how to use it right. Lots of morons use tools wrong and cause problems and fatalities, doesn't mean the tool should be banned. Learn how to use tools right is an old lesson.

A majority of people have been convinced of many different things, many times, but that doesn't make any of them true or good. Unchecked, open weight, charging to protect from itself and accelerationist ideas don't sound good, and it should be used for good and peace, so don't throw the baby out with the bathwater, another old one lol.
