I'm teaching a class on AI in Libraries next semester and I'm finding ChatGPT incredibly useful in filling in some gaps in my knowledge. Unlike researching on the web in traditional ways and having to waste time looking for an answer to my specific question, I can engage AI on a topic directly. And as you said, you can keep asking follow up questions until you have all the answers. I can't put a firm percentage on how much more productive it makes me, but it feels like I'm reducing my research time by 90%.
