Senator, with all due respect, victory next November doesn’t mean much when it represents continuing the current state of democratic strategy and leadership. It is demoralizing to repeatedly hear about the importance of voting for this group when we’re continually let down between these elections.

I don’t disagree. I also think academia really needs to establish some standards with LLMs and citations. If I end up publishing something with the help of a robot I won’t cite the robot much in the same way I won’t cite a computer or a program. I WILL cite those authors though.

That’s how scientific publication works. Its sole function is to disseminate information.

The best analogy I’ve heard about LLMs is that they’re like Uranium. Incredibly powerful in the right hands, incredibly dangerous in the wrong. The other day I fed chatGPT a dozen or so papers and had it write a physics modeling tool in Matlab. It worked!

Isn’t this the same demand they made over a month ago?
