Since that time, there has been a vast amount of news reporting and debate in academia about how to use it. ChatGPT and similar products currently have plenty of value when used as tools for writing original content, but nothing really seemed to be written about them as tools for library or database searching. I see ChatGPT and its alternatives as having partial value as tools for library searching, particularly for gathering keywords to use in searches; suggesting synonyms for keywords; summarizing text; and truncating keywords.”
