Using ChatGPT to summarize multiple papers and essentially do a lit survey for you is actually a great idea.

Yea that certainly seems useful but it also sounds like a mix of search engine and chatgpt. MSs updates to bing might be able to do that?

The problem I found with chatgpt and other AI is the word limit. I believe it is 4000 words max. and that includes the summary as well.

If anyone knows a fix, please let me know. In the meantime, I use an AI-tool called scholarcy, but it lacks data to be fed with. I study a subject that is *very* reading-heavy, so I can't simply rely on the abstract, and 100 pages per week/course is mostly too much to handle, while working part-time.

Do a two-step. Summarize each paper so the summaries all fit into the context window, then have it compare and contrast.
