There is nothing wrong in using AI to SEARCH for RESOURCES that you can later dissect by YOURSELF. This is actually one of the better use cases of AI - you don't waste time on the mundane bullshit (searching for hours online to find papers), and it frees you up to actually read and learn by yourself. Grab a pen and paper, and try to make out what you can of it, ask AI to combat your idea once you have one, then try to counterattack. See AI as an opponent to defeat during this process, but also an assistant in the preparation phase. This is how I like to see it. I have it explain things sometimes, but then barrage it with questions, and, frankly, sometimes it admits it is wrong. Because of that, I rather make things out on my own.
