One new workflow with chatgpt, that I've found very useful, is to paste the contents of an academic paper in, and ask it questions about it and ask it to simplify certain parts that are written in a stylized/obfuscatory way.

It turns the process of reading a new academic paper into more of like having a conversation with someone who understands all the technical details.

Check out SciSpace [0], it was trained specifically for this and even has a function to explain formulas, algorithms and tables on top of explaining general questions about the paper or paragraphs. It’s amazing and is now an integral part of my workflow. At first, I upload the paper to SciSpace, ask it some general questions about the paper and then read it more throughly. If some things are confusing, I mark them and let the AI explain them. It’s kind-blowing and completely free.
