My profession (research) is just becoming increasingly unhinged in terms of "AI" use. Last three days: - Day 1: Meeting on a grant proposal. Colleague has not read the call, but has Google Gemini Chatbot open and asks the Chatbot during our meeting constantly about call specifics. - Day 2: Another meeting about a possible grant proposal (yes, my life). Colleague has not read the call, but brings an "AI" summary they read while discussing it with me. - Day 3: Preparation for a kick-off meeting on a project. Colleague has prepared a list of tasks and timeline with Claude. I dread looking at it. #academia #research #academicchatter And you know, I even use LLMs to generate text for computer code sometimes, so I am not generally opposed to tightly scoped use of generated text in some places, but this is just an avalanche of carelessness by now.
