Apparently I'm doing this -- my open letter to that open latter about AI in writing and publishing. I emerged from Hibernation Week to write it, so god only knows how much sense it makes. But at least a human wrote it, so that's nice.

A transatlantic showdown over tech policy (as opposed to, say, net zero) could actually have a unifying & galvanising political effect within the EU. The union’s digital regulations are broadly popular and many voters actually want more, not fewer, controls on Big Tech.

«Trump’s the enemy of the nation he was elected to lead.»
A year since Trump's return to power, America's a far weaker nation, under relentless assault by its own president.
Weakening the United States, and democracies around the world, serves Trump's desire to increase his power and wealth. But Trump's the enemy of the nation he was elected to lead.

I think a desk reject and a public blacklist are the only ways to stamp out this use of genAI in academic writing.
Because the only way that stuff gets in a manuscript is if the author is cheating and hasn’t read what they are citing.
No mercy.

If you’re a journal editor do you check every reference before deciding whether to send a manuscript to peer reviewers? When you find hallucinated garbage, do you desk reject immediately? Do you tell the authors about what you found? Do you start a black list of some kind?
