I just realized something most people are going to lose when (as they inevitably will) they start using AIs to write everything for them. They'll lose the knowledge of how writing is constructed.

For theory papers, pdf on my laptop screen, and take handwritten notes on an iPad, reproducing derivations. Understanding comes through the hand, not the eye. Also the ear is useless :)
