We made a mistake by calling the output of AI ‘slop’. In academia it is now looking much more like toxic pollution, on the verge of laying waste to previously fertile plains. Suing for royalties is only a small part of the battle.

Story time. A grad student (not in history, not at my uni) wanted me to be on their committee as an external reader. They send their proposal. I read it, it's sort of oddly written and poorly argued, but maybe we can work with that I think. I turn to the citations. I see an article by a scholar
