Wow, great lead....

The worse science, publish or perish pulp, got more academic karma Altmetric/Citations -> $$$

AI is a perfect academic, the science and curiosity is gone and the ability to push out science looking text is supermaxxed.

Tragic end solution, do the same and throw even more money at it

> At a time when funding is being slashed, I believe we should be doing the opposite

AI has show academia is beyond broken in a way that can't be ignored to the world and academia won't get their heads out of the granular sediments between 0.0625 mm and 2 mm in diameter.

Defund academia now.

ah right, de-found the main source of at lest semi independent scientific advancement just because it has a lot of issues instead of fixing this issues .. always a grate idea

I would have though that the common catastrophic failure stories of fully rewriting systems all at once instead of fixing them bit by bit would help IT people to know better.
