It may be useful, but it also encourages people to stop writing their own papers.

As they demo in the video, it even encourages people to actually skip doing the research (which includes reading both relevant AND not-so-relevant papers in order to explore!) Instead, prompt "cite some relevant papers, please", and done. Hours of actual reading, thinking, and exploration reduced to a minimum.

A couple of generations of students later, and these will be rare skills: information finding, actual thinking, and conveying complex information in writing.
