  you can do that if you do not have integrity. but i can kinda get their perspective - you want people to cite you, or read your papers, so you can be better funded. The system is almost set to be gamed

    almost? we’re in the middle of a decades long ongoing scandal centered on gaming the system.

    I’m not in academia, but I’ve seen my coworkers’ hard work get crunched into a slop machine by higher ups who think it’s a good cleanup filter.

    LLMs are legitimately amazing technology for like six specific use cases but I’m genuinely worried that my own hard work can be defaced that way. Or worse, that someone else in the chain of custody of my work (let’s say, the person advising me who would be reviewing my paper in an academic context) decided to do the same, and suddenly this is attached to my name permanently.

    Absurd, terrifying, genuinely upsetting misuse of technology. I’ve been joking about moving to the woods much more frequently every month for the past two years.

      that someone else in the chain of custody of my work decided to do the same, and suddenly this is attached to my name permanently.

      sadly, that is the case.

      The only useful application for me currently is some amount of translation work, or using it to check my grammar or check if I am appropriately coming across (formal, or informal)
