Indeed. I never really used AI until recently but now I use it sometimes as a smarter search engine that can give me abstracts.

Eg. it's easy to ask copilot: can you give me a list of free, open source mqtt brokers and give me some statistics in the form of a table

And copilot (or any other ai) does this quite nicely. This is not something that you can ask a traditional search engine.

Offcourse you do need to know enough of the underlying material and double check what output you get for when the AI is hallucinating.
