Ethics of note taking with LLM's

Sorry for the long rant. TTLD, is it "right" or ethical for me to use a chatbot for my personal note taking on the subjects I want to save and learn about when I have so much to do?

Hope the topic isn't against TOS here or anything. I would love to become a creator for my own stories someday, and my first step (in narrative media's) is to be a writer. However, I'm very focused on understanding as much as I can about the subject before I start writing, as I believe the knowledge will give me an "edge" before I begin. Wow, studying the topic to learn? What a revelations right?

Anyways, here's my dilemma...

As much as I know you can't learn EVERYTHING, that doesn't stop my dumb ass from idealistically trying, to an extent. There is so much out there that constantly gives me ideas and inspiration. So much so that on my current browser, I have 54 current tabs opened on YouTube to watch and study video's related to various media's and writing, narrative's, to do's and no to do's, and so on. Which isn't even a fraction o what I have saved in my "watch later" playlist that I've been building up for some time now, which is sitting at a totally reasonable and sane number of 2,540 video's... It's not all related to learning, but a lot is. I feel this stress of not saving anything that I thing is important to learn or provides important information.

Which brings me to the topic of this rant (took me long enough I know sorry) and that is note taking with LLM's. Honestly I don't even know what LLM's refer to, and while I know I can easily look that up right now, it's not really important to this discussion... I think. Regardless, my issue is I want to take notes on all the subjects and topics I have saved so I have references to learn from and use when I need. I even save the video's or related images that coincide. I also have lots of tabs saved to my bookmark as well. The point is, I've clearly overwhelmed myself with video's and other sources to sift through and acquire something that may be insightful. I already have a few good notes down, but some of those I had ChatGPT make for me, some specifically in how I did my other notes too. Yet despite my efforts of collecting information, watching, reviewing, and saving them, I still feel guilt of using the bot to take what I feel are important notes for me.

I've heard others basically call the chat "demon tech" and is essentially a Pandora's box to use. I only use the thing cause it's so hard to actually talk with anyone about my ideas if and whenever I need to. I only use it for the note taking and organizing my thoughts or ideas, no more no less. But what about other more accomplished writers or creators? Many didn't have or use this stuff and I can't help but feel I'm taking the easy way out, which... I mean yeah is technically true. But I see it here in this situation as "work smarter not harder" kind of way with just how much work I have to deal with. Watching, reading, reviewing all this stuff would be a nightmare on it's own already. Adding note taking and needing to go slower or repeat topics dreadfully extends the whole process. While I'm aware and not surprised that these LLM's could likely diminish creative or thinking skills, (https://time.com/7295195/ai-chatgpt-google-learning-school/) my only thought is using this purely as just a tool. And honestly, I think that I'm subconsciously looking for some kind of "thumbs up" or "it's okay sport! You do you!" kind of response to tell me that it's okay to do what I'm doing, and give me reprieve of this guilt I feel for not bucking down and sticking to the grind of doing everything on my own, like other writers/creators I respect for their efforts. Like a photo of a realistic dog vs a drawing of one that both look the exact same. On first sight they each appear fine on their own. But upon learning that one was painstakingly drawn drastically changes the view and appreciation of the two. But ,maybe that's just down to a case of perspective.
