I've had an increasing number of people ask me why I do not have LLMs automate my paper writing/research for me. My first answer is always on principle. My second is that nothing I work on is so derivative of other work that it is that well-represented in the training set.

All I know is that it is uncorrupted by the blind use of LLMs. Ah, the joys of being illiterate.
