Honestly, I am absolutely disgusted by academics suggesting that AI can do the reading and writing for you. At a certain point, what you're bragging about is fraud. And in a broader sense, what you're contributing to is the erosion of knowledge and the destruction of trust in academic publishing.
"Our govt is treating the suffering of the Iranian ppl as a backdrop for our own entertainment, as if itβs just another piece of content to be swiped thru while waiting in line at the grocery store.

What I don't understand about climate doomers is how they refuse to accept the fact that every single fraction of a degree of warming we can prevent, whether that be now or in the future, will save lives and ecosystems. Also, adaptation exists, so there's no excuse to give up on activism.
GREAT new resource from us:

The Einstein AI debacle feels a bit like a scale model of everything commercial LLM right now: tool announced with hype, press leaps onboard, panic/ outrage ensues, founder melts down and deletes. (With a side of well actually, the underlying technology could do what it promised, with some effort.)
