"AI will let us turn PhDs from 4 year degrees into 6 month degrees!" Literally shitting on the part that makes it intellectual development. It requires things like *reading* for yourself and *writing* for yourself. Those aren't chores, they're part of skills acquisition and critical development.

If you're someone for whom the writing process is just a time-suck that can be offloaded to the shitty algorithm slop heap, you're in the wrong fucking business.

I have heard "I only use AI for the first draft" as if that's cool, and not the draft where you do all the idea forming and synthesis. I guess the point of research is to generate papers right? Point of writing is to generate words?
