Fatiguing big-time on the "AI" gold rush.
It's quick and can seem miraculous (and entertaining, like anything that's got to put on show because it's lacking in real thinking) but yet to show me it has more value than a regular search on Google.
Some self gathering/comparison/curation of on Google and comes no where near reading primary resources. it may take more time but I would bet money it produces a deeper more intrinsic and valuable understanding of a subject.

So decide what you want to be, a GPT prompter (in other words an Language modelling handler) or a person who understands the real thing. The thing GPT is designed to suck the marrow out of without giving any attribution or credit.
You can be both though, I guess. But still GPT cannot be sucking up so much of everything and presenting it as it's own magical thinking, anymore than a vacuum cleaner sucking up dust can claim to have alchemical God-like abilities to create dust from nothing.

@TheAbbotTrithemius The 'reality' of what is generated is one area to question. What the AI values and what the real values of a thing should be may differ, but it's that irreconcilable or is it only a matter of time until AIs mature into resolving that divide?
I also wonder about the challenge to our existing sense that human knowledge can be proprietary. Legally we protect the ownership of the originator but should we hold back humanity from embracing new knowledge and progressing?
