Agreed as a former scientist (theoretical high energy physics). I’ve yet to meet one person in related fields who’s enthusiastic about giving paper mills a 2000% productivity boost while giving honest people a 20% boost at best, and by the looks of it, this kind of data-to-mindless-statistical-correlation agents will hit the already bullshit-laden, not very scientific fields the hardest. I’m not sure that future can be deterred though, the cat is already out of the bag.


I just hope that one day we find the jerk who put the poor animal in the bag in the first place.

Sorry, I just had to. Hottest day of the year in the UK today and warm weather causes me to lose inhibition.
