I've had an idea for an NMR experiment for years and Claude, in the background, was able to do a literature review, find reference data, do spin simulations and spectrum stimulations, evaluate feasibility and compare results with alternative methods... While I ate dinner and watched TV.

If a student walked in and told you "summarize your work for me because I'm unwilling to read and understand it in full," would you accept that? What about if they then asked you questions you'd already answered in the paper? You've built a system that teaches people not to read or research.

One more reason we're relieved to move on from "doing the work" to "spreading the word" is that now we know for sure we will never sell out with something like this:
A generated image of a boxed kit titled "MATTEL MICROLAB DIY Automated Chemical Reactor". The box shows young people excitedly raking notes and holding up vials of liquid. The kit includes a sleek mini-microlab as well as an instruction book, reagents, solvents, and additional tools and gear. It is reminiscent of chemistry kits from the 1900's but updated with modern branding.
