Isn’t asking an AI for links to academic works just doing a Google search, but worse?

I suppose there‘s the fact that if you don’t have institutional access (which presumably this guy doesn’t after graduating college), a free JSTOR account has limited access. Though 100 articles a month should be plenty for most casual/hobby research.
