Doesn't work, I tried it on an article and said "could not establish connection. Receiving end does not exist." EDIT it works if you refresh your page

If you are like in academia and want to manually upload a ton of stuff this is for you -- the ChatGPT integrated LLM is not valuable and the plugin really has not added any value for me yet.. Id love to be proven wrong but I feel like the pitch was access 100M+ research papers and scientific etc... I have had to find and upload them myself and the research I was provided in return was almost useless practically. So I learned but it was not actionable at all = academia summarized pretty clearly!
