I'm not really sure what you mean. Literature search is about casting a wide net to make a reading list that is relevant to your research.

It is pretty hard to fuck that up, since you aren't expected to find everything anyway. The idea of "testing" and "using any result from GPT" is just, like, reading the papers and seeing if they are tangentially related.

If I may speak to my own experience, literature search has been the most productive application I've personally used, more than coding, and I've found many interesting papers and research directions with it.
