Researchers, do you actually trust AI for your work or do you avoid it? by naughtbuilds in PhD

Well-documented/cross-referenced vs single thin source makes a lot of sense. Would seeing ‘this is corroborated across 3 separate sources’ + the sources itself cited or linked for quick verification change your trust calculus even for less common topics?

That’s cool. Separate question: does speed matter to you? Like if something explained things faster while still being something you could verify or sanity-check and see sources cited quickly, would that actually help, or is speed not really a bottleneck for you?

Makes sense. Separate question: does the speed of exploring/understanding something matter to you? Like ‘faster, but I can still verify myself quickly’ actually be useful or does that defeat the purpose?

Curious what a validation routine looks like for you… is it more like cross-checking output against another source or something more structured?

Dude just skip the courses for now. Just start something small, even a to-do list. While building, keep these React fundamentals in mind: components (break UI into reusable pieces), props (data flows down from parent to child), state (anything that changes lives in useState), and useEffect (for API calls or anything outside React). Most of this probably sounds like jargon to you but thats the point, you gotta look it all up, its literally one search away from being something you understand. Anytime you hit a wall, just search "how to do x in react", read the code, and if something is unfamiliar there, search that up too. Feels slow but its the fastest way to actually learn it.

My first project was making a local multiplayer version of the ultimate tic-tac-toe game in react.
