this is actually pretty good, similar results to google scholar but brings up relevant blurbs quicker, makes selecting relevant papers faster.

Ah, you were “that” kid in the neighborhood weren’t you. I bet you had every video game too. (just pulling your chain 🙃)

I think on a fundamental level we don't really know? Iirc we don't understand charge on a fundamental level- we've gotten gravity, but circuits are still more engineering than science imo

Science Direct already does this… and it isn’t very useful…

They had those at the arcade ticket counter. Only $5 worth of tickets from skeeball and you could have your very own 25 cent foam airplane.

Semi-related but that website reminded me of a childhood memory I haven't thought of in ages...
Does anyone remember from the 90s these pre-cut styrofoam planes -- usually of WWII era fighter planes -- that you assembled yourself? It was super simple... there were only about 3 or 4 pieces that you attached at the pre-cut notches, and they came in packaging similar to the size and shape of a Hershey's Bar. I remember I used to buy them from the icecream truck as a kid.
Edit: I just did a quick search after this post and it came right up! nostalgic "paper planes" from the past

Are you trying to say something here? If you're trying to say the scientific method doesn't work, how do you think the technology underlying the device you used to comment was invented?

Sorry, but I don't understand the negative reaction to this post. Is the tool not useful to find articles to read about on any topic?

Now someone write a bot that takes just the text snippet produced by this and turns it into a bastardized click bait article title.

I’m sure you’ve put a lot of work into this, and it’s hard to hear negative feedback. I hope that with some time and distance, you’ll see how this contributes to misinformation and the general destruction of nuanced knowledge. I’m a researcher. I can see how this would mangle my messages. I’m not impressed.
ETA: I think what a lot of people are reacting to is the claim that you’re getting “an answer”. I’ve been in academia for over a decade. (A) it doesn’t work like that, and (b) I know my students. People love to think they have an answer, when all they have is decontextualized phrase-salad.

Public libraries exist
Internet exists
Free articles on the internet exist
Free internet exists for low income families
Ways to circumvent the paywall exists
Khan Academy exists
Quality YouTube lectures exist
Pointing fingers and calling people whatever “-ists” you’ve heard through the grapevine is a take that is both incredibly narrow-minded, and, well, lazy

>The issue of getting access to papers and using them for more than just reading them one at a time is something groups have advocated for decades.
I'm going to assume this is all legal issues.
I wonder if you could set up shop in Sweden and let your AI sweep ZLibrary??!!!

Do you think we worked to index millions of full-text articles over years to bypass actual thinking, reading, and research? Come on! You're being disingenuous here and trying to tear down work just for the sake of it. We want to enhance reading, discovery, and understanding, so we have made it easier to search or ask questions of research. We welcome constructive feedback, but your example is clearly not an "atrocity," as you describe it. I get it though it's reddit and everyone wants to comment some "gotcha!"

THANK YOU
In the 90's a relative of mine once handed me a UFO paper plane he'd folded. It was the best paper plane I've ever had the pleasure throwing. It went straight as an arrow at low speeds yet got very good distance.
It's such an old memory and I was so young that the memory of that day had long receded into the back of my mind, only surfacing occasionally with me either dismissing it as a dream or accepting that I'd never find an actual guide to fold it.

They HAVE BEEN presidents of the US. However, time evolves our understanding of things, and this site you’ve built doesn’t account for that.
You can’t make a “tool” for bypassing actual thinking, reading, and research and then claim that outcome isn’t its intended purpose.
