I'm surprised at the number of comments that give up and say that "AI" is here to stay.

I'm also surprised that academics rely on snake oil software to deal with the issue.

Instead, academics should unite and push for outlawing "AI" or make it difficult to get like cigarettes. Sometimes politicians still listen to academics.

It is probably not going to happen though since the level of political apathy among academics is unprecedented. Everyone is just following orders.

the cat is irreversibly out of the bag now, unless you want to ban gaming-grade GPUs, macbooks, and anything with high bandwidth memory capable of massively parallel compute. you can't strip the knowledge of how to build an LLM from people's brains, even non-ML software engineers will know the general research direction of how to get back to at least a GPT-3 level.

this is also not a good era for politicians to listen to academics, anti elitism sentiment is at a high and nobody will vote for "eating their vegetables" vs. "candy for dinner".
