We need an enormous amount of scrutiny to be sure that GenAI results don’t only look good, but are actually right.

So, research.com send me an email and I look at the profile that they've created for me...

Seems that I connect archaeology and paleontology. I also bring programming languages and operating systems in the mix. Luckily they didn't find out I also do software engineering 😰
