Laughter really is a great medicine… sending my daughters reels that have made me sob and snort with laughter whilst trying not to wake my husband is exceptionally healing after essay writing for my EGA module 1.

CAN RESEARCHERS USE AI FOR PEER REVIEW?
AI tools such as large-language models (LLMs) shouldn't be used by peer reviewers because:
* This may breach confidentiality
* They are not validated to appraise scholarly content and may give inaccurate, cursory, and biased reviews

AI in research - UK Research Integrity Office
LLM 'AI' chatbots are new, but existing good research practice principles can help navigate the ethical and integrity challenges they pose.

I'm totally OK with being called woke. It just means that I'm showing off my green flags. Happy to follow others with green flags.
