Although, I have known using an LLM to do your prior research to itself be a trap.

The searches it runs, and the summaries it provides, are all incredibly sensitive to your choice of words. Words you chose from a state of minimal knowledge. So it’s like a particularly perverse version of the anchoring bias: information that could have led you to a better solution is often actively filtered out of the agent’s response precisely because it leads down a different path from your first idea.

In short, if you ask an agent what’s the best hammer for driving screws, it’s liable not to mention that screwdrivers exist.
