    Took me a second.

    But man, I don't write academic papers anymore, but I have to write a lot of reports and such for my work and I've tried to use different LLM's to help and almost always the biggest help is just in making me go "Man, this sucks, it should be more like this." and then I proceed to just write the whole thing with the slight advantage of knowing what a badly written version looks like.

    On the side of authors, please, PLEASE do not use any AI tools when writing your articles.

    It's actually very easy to get into Q3-Q4 with absolute crap, and let's just respect each other - not to mention keep your reputation :)

    I know it's tedious and I don't like sitting at 4am writing articles, either, but yeah - it's important :D

    That's not to say journals shouldn't do a better job.

      If you use it to just get started, but actually read it and have the expertise to fix mistakes and make it relevant, it's probably fine. Not necessarily because it's faster, but because some people just suck at getting started, and having nonsense to correct is easier to start correcting than turning whitespace into something.

        Yeah, fair enough. Someone here in the thread already said they use LLMs to just outline what to write and how, and then start something along these lines from scratch

    Insert name here: John E. Doe

    I recall hearing of at least two bills passed that had this... and were not even filled in yet, yeesh:-(.

    Someone should really try to poison the well here, and put in a line that says: Insert social security number and a valid credit card number here... Except like the above people probably wouldn't even read that much, yeesh:-(.

    Security through obfuscation stupidity! :-) - it can be adaptive under just the right circumstances!:-)
