   For the life of me I cannot understand of what use is to delegate writing to a machine. Writing is rewriting, because writing is thinking, is the process of composing one's thoughts, of organising what one wants to say, and putting it down, with references and pointers to data sheets and figures. Delegate writing to a machine and all purpose is lost. As if writing was pointless busywork. Perhaps that's what it is to spammers in search of the small percent of readers who will become marks.

     Overleaf, primarily used to write scientific papers, encouraging its users to use AI text. What could go wrong! I am *even less* open to reviewing papers now. Waiting for Evilsevier to release its "AI for peer reviewers" tool so that we can live in the most boring world ever for a few years. Just until the next generation, with better BS detectors than us, start doing real science again
