Re AI: People need to learn HOW to use it. I saved myself HOURS today by telling Gemini to draft a research plan for my new project. I then READ every line of it and edited as necessary.

I wouldn't use it to look up facts. That's what a search engine is for. It works really well when YOU give IT something and tell it to do something (e.g., write a cover letter for this manuscript). It will look up details like the dates of a conference or the name of a journal's editor.
You need to CHECK it all, but it saves you the time to type out the journal's mailing address and phone number. The key thing to remember is that you must READ and EDIT everything it gives you. I very rarely get hallucinations because I'm careful about how I'm using it.
