IT can be beneficial for making your initial assessment, but you'll need to dig deeper for something meaningful. For example, I recently used Gemini's Deep Research to do some literature review on educational Color Theory in relation to PowerPoint presentations [1]. I know both areas rather well, but I wanted to have some links between the two for some research that I am currently doing.
I'd say that companies like Google and OpenAI are aware of the "reputable" concerns the Internet is expressing and addressing them. This tech is going to be, if not already is, very powerful for education.
Taking a Gemini Deep Research output and feeding it to NotebookLM to create audio overviews is my current podcast go-to. Sometimes I do a quick Google and add in a few detailed but overly verbose documents or long form YouTube videos, and the result is better than 99% of the podcasts out there, including those by some academics.
No wonder there are so many confident people spouting total rubbish on technical forums.
