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.
