The 'AI slop' critics point to? That's just beginner output. Learning LLMs is like learning to ride a bike—you can't read your way to mastery. Smart people try once, produce dreck, then dismiss the tool. But they're confusing their inexperience with the tool's limits.

What if even the core of bacterial nanomachines wasn’t static?
We found that the T3SS core protein SctD in Yersinia dynamically exchanges subunits — and this flexibility is essential for proper assembly & function.

This spring, new AI photo tools arrived. Genealogists experimented. Then quickly we realized: these tools don't "restore" historical photos—they may fabricate new faces.
By August, these "restorations" were everywhere, unlabeled, corrupting our shared historical record. #genealogy
