Dr. Polak raises a good point, as do you. Concerns over the mechanization of research are valid. But there are domains (such as yours) where they are useful. The humanities may suffer.

I don't feel that jargon, legalese and newspeak are going to vanish. On the contrary, the value of these words may actually increase due to the appeal that they possess by way of gesturing toward authority, virtue and the like. There is a likelihood that AI will only contribute to their proliferation, just in the same terse manner that you are describing. Densely packed compositions of inarticulate gobbledygook that serves none, yet is served by many.

We are on the cusp of a fissure in the field of knowledge work led by AI tools. I'm inclined toward the more manual labor that favors a dextrous approach to "information overload" but there are opportunities to leverage these tools as a sort of valve for copious amounts of information as well. The technology isn't going to go anywhere, so hopefully this is Elicit is a useful product that will serve the interest of the conscientious.
