Publishers welcome AI for screening papers. They also want to expand volume, weakening the quality and reliability of their product in the process.

I’m sorry, but it is disgraceful to be an academic who uses this technology to conduct research. It should be prohibited in all of our scholarly institutions, including universities and journals.

AI tutors are often held up as an ideal, but prioritizing individualized teaching can detract from the benefits of learning in social environments.

"Anthropomorphizing AI gives people the wrong idea about what these systems actually are. And that has consequences. When we begin to assign consciousness and emotional intelligence to an entity where none exists, we start trusting AI in ways it was never meant to be trusted."

Commentary: Instead of pretending AI is a cognizant being with emotions, let's examine the actual risks and limitations.
