Yeah, there's some stuff where it can be really helpful. E.g. in law if I want to take a 2000 page trial transcript and find all instances where people were talking about a certain subject, it can be really good, especially if there isn't a keyword that always means that subject.
That sounds like a very specific, specialized use-case, and not how many lawyers are getting caught using it with made up laws and citations lmao
The lawyers getting caught with fake cites in their briefs are definitely idiots, but reviewing really long transcripts and discovery document dumps for the tiny bits that are important is not an unusual thing to need to do in law.
Oh of course. I am not arguing, just agreeing this is a much better, more specific use case that sounds reasonable, especially if as you say it isn’t as simple as Ctrl+F.
