I’m consistently stunned how many of my colleagues are using these tools! Your ideas and how you investigate and follow them are your work! The way you write about it is the work! What are you doing outsourcing the very thing you were trained for?! It’s the whole point of us!

In my current role I’m mostly a serial collaborator and so I have to trust my coauthors are being diligent and not filling our manuscripts with bullshit, but I’ve already caught several using LLMs to write and cite and it just makes me want to give up.

As someone who has graded a lot of undergrad writing assignments, I feel like I spot a lot of similarities in AI writing. It has a real “didn’t really understand the assignment” energy, to me.

I’m fighting with this every day at work with fellow scientists! Who should know better!! The whole point of us is our ideas and the way we implement them, what do you mean you asked chatgpt?! Crazy making.

Oh what sad news, but thank you for sharing. She was the first person to invite me to give a symposium talk early in my career, for which I felt truly honored. What an incredible loss.

I’m having a similar experience, it can be really frustrating and makes me feel dumb a lot, but doing math problems takes total focus so it’s been a very effective distraction from…all of this. It’s been well timed.

I’ve been reviewing high school math recently too, and I found khan academy to be hugely helpful because there’s a ton of exercises, and the explanations for the correct solutions really helped me start to see the patterns/tricks I was missing.

It really is such a sad midlife crisis. Seemingly no one in his life who cares enough to talk him out of this incredibly self destructive behavior.

Best Day Brewing has a kolsch that I really like. I also enjoy Paulaner’s NA radler, though it’s not bitter it’s more like a malty Arnold Palmer.

Peer reviewers are ALSO usually told not pay attention to these things, so who exactly is going to? A 3rd party non-expert, an LLM, or no one I guess. And they charge $3990 in Article Publishing Charges.

Scientific publishing is a racket, it makes me so angry. Society journals or bust, I guess.

I remember thinking last year how nice it was to see people like you whose work I enjoy being able to post here normally without tormented by annoying replies. Sad that ended, but inevitable I guess.

This seems like an empirical question, and I’m excited to hear the results!

This is also my position.

I would say “no,” but I guess it depends on school policies and the course syllabus. I feel like I don’t really have a good sense anymore for how people are using genAI, honestly. My colleagues tell me that we should be teaching students how to use this to be competitive in the future job market 🫠

I keep having testy exchanges with people in my department about this, I feel so alienated. So many of my colleagues seem to be using these tools for research and teaching prep uncritically, and they treat me with pity and scorn when I raise objections.

The Atlantic has done tons of great work. Works with some great writers. But it is compromised by an editorial vision that basically equates to: violence and oppression is when important accomplished people like me suffer, virtue and pragmatism is when important accomplished people like me dominate.

It’s so wild! I was dumbstruck one morning this week trying to find the pic with my workout routine on it the day it updated. It feels actively hostile. Why does it insist on chaining photos together into a “video?!”

Searching for some version of “what does this mean” I think would break me. Shoutout to the posters, people have been so annoying in replies the last few weeks.
