Patently untrue. If I have hundreds of PDF research papers totaling thousands of pages - just because I have them doesn't necessarily mean I know where to search. Having an LLM be able to find related pieces across all of these documents and extrapolate is tremendously useful.

A thousand pages is something reviewable by hand (albeit slowly) and easily amendable to grep. Anything that trivially fits in computer memory doesn't benefit from approximate search methods. I stand by what I said.
