Hey everyone, I think AI has changed the way I handle research papers, and I want to know how others here are doing this. One area where AI is helping me is literature consumption. As a student dealing with research papers, it can feel overwhelming. There are new studies appearing and then the pressure to stay informed. I have seen most of us just skim abstracts, save PDFs to read later and over time, we end up with a pile of papers meant to read but never fully processed. I have been experimenting with using AI not just to summarize faster, but to reduce the friction of engaging with papers at all. I tried turning papers into structured summaries and even conversational audio explainers, like I generated a short podcast style discussion of a paper, which converted the core ideas into explanation of the problem, method, and implications. I did not expect much, but I noticed I was retaining the material much better. The ideas stuck in a way they usually don’t when I just read summaries. It also changed when I engage with research I can listen to podcast while walking which means I process more literature overall. Are people here integratiing AI summaries or audio explainers into literature review now? Or do you still prefer traditional reading for depth and retention? submitted by /u/Additional-Step-7833
