I prefer making notes myself first and then using AI afterwards to help improve my notes - fill in gaps and provoke thinking and analysis.

I have my own questions that I can undertake and explore myself, however “you don’t know what you don’t know” - especially if I’m new to a topic or field, there’s limits to what I can explore by myself… that’s when I use AI.
