I tried using GPT-4 as a better way to search papers - it can be very annoying when you know the gist of a result but not the authors or enough details about the methodology for Google. GPT-4 was pretty good at figuring out what citation I wanted given a vague description.
However, the confabulation/hallucination rate seemed highly subject-dependent: AI/ML citations were quite robust, but cognitive science was so bad that it wasn't worth using. Eventually I went back to the Old Ways. But there are a good number of academics that use it as an alternative to Google Scholar.
