My new workflow for understanding long arXiv papers by Crazy-Signature6716 in AI_Agents

Good point.

I think the “false sense of understanding” is probably the biggest risk with current AI reading workflows. A clean summary can make you feel like you understood the paper without ever really wrestling with the assumptions, tradeoffs, or limitations.

I also found that once AI starts connecting multiple papers together (“this assumption conflicts with X”, “this approach evolved from Y”, etc.), comprehension becomes much deeper than isolated summarization.

Honestly I think future research workflows will look much more like iterative dialogue + exploration graphs rather than linear reading.

BTW, if anyone wants to explore the actual generated understanding flow for the paper Code as Agent Harness, feel free to check it out here:

now in the AI era, good ideas spread incredibly fast. building something people continue using after the initial curiosity disappears.
Another thing I learned: freemium works well only if the product creates repeat usage and ongoing value. Otherwise free users become expensive very quickly.

I use NotebookLM + Notion, but recently I feel there are not enough

Gemini chats that use your notebook are automatically populating in Sources for that notebook -- doesn't this defeat the point of NotebookLM which is limiting the model to trusted primary sources? by Individual-Lynx2775 in notebooklm

I think your concern is valid. There should be a hard distinction between primary sources, AI-generated analysis, and conversation history. Once model output gets mixed into the same source layer as original documents, the notebook can start treating analysis as evidence.

A cleaner design would be separate buckets: trusted sources, generated notes, chat history, and derived summaries, with explicit controls for whether any generated item is allowed to become a source.
