if you want to find a few articles out of a few hundred that are about the benefits of nuclear weapons or other controversial topics that have significant literature on them it can be helpful to eliminate 90% that probably aren’t what I’m looking for.
That depends on how you use it. If you need the information from an article, but don’t want to read it, I agree, an LLM is probably the wrong tool. If you have several articles and want go decide which one has the information you need, an LLM is a pretty good option.
That is called being terrible at summarizing.
