Yeah, same for me.

I wouldn't want to rely only on an AI for this - how would I know it isn't just making it up? I'd have to search out other sources anyway, to be sure. So it's faster to just search to begin with.

As to the chapter summaries, the same thing applies. How would I know the AI isn't just hallucinating the summaries, or at least parts of them?

As things stand at the moment, LLMs just aren't reliable enough.
