No, really, I've tried it and its okay for a crow's flight over these papers, but I'd never put my trust in random() to fetch me precisely what I'm looking for.

My daily usage of ChatGPT, Claude, etc. for nearly 2 years now shows one and the same - unless I provide enough of the right context for it to get the job done, job is never done right. ever. accidentally maybe, but never ever. and this becomes particularly evident with larger documents.

The pure RAG-based approach is a no go, you cannot be sure important stuff is not omitted. The "feed the document into Context" still by definition will not work correctly thanks to all the bias accumulated in the LLMs layers.

So it is a way to approach papers if you really know what they contain, and know the surrounding terminology. But this is really a no go if you read about .... complex analysis and know nothing about algebra in 5th degree. Sorry, this is not gonna work, and will probably summarily take longer as total time/energy on behalf of the reader.
