A magical thing you lose by relying on Chat GTP to help you even with basic research is the wild, unexpected tangents that drive whole new creative paths and ideas you never expected.
Sure you may be researching wood furnishings in 1200 Japan, but while delving into that world you may read an anecdote about a famous figure you never knew about like a 12th century Shogun, and next thing you know, your short story is now a sweeping epic set to the Genpei War in 1180.
(Like for example how I just learned about the Genpei War in 1180 because I was curious about people who lived in 12th century Japan to make a point here... this is what you lose by willfully adopting crutches.)
