Yeah, it's useful but double check your sources and never hand in anything, even the citations by just copy and pasting it without scrutiny. It can make up all kinds of bullshit, pretend cited works say something when they don't, etc.
You don't want to it to hallucinate you in front of an academic ethics committee. Again, not against using it, but never base anything on stuff it says, only base stuff on primary sources it helped you find.
Fully agree. Honestly, it's why I like the Copilot branding Microsoft used. It is a Copilot, not the Captain. You still need to be in control and verify and scrutinize.
