If a carpenter builds a crappy shelf “because” his power tools are not calibrated correctly - that’s a crappy carpenter, not a crappy tool.

If a scientist uses an LLM to write a paper with fabricated citations - that’s a crappy scientist.

AI is not the problem, laziness and negligence is. There needs to be serious social consequences to this kind of thing, otherwise we are tacitly endorsing it.

It’s like the problem was there all along, all LLMs did was expose it more

Modern science is designed from the top to the bottom to produce bad results. The incentives are all mucked up. It's absolutely not surprising that AI is quickly becoming yet-another factor lowering quality.
