It is easy to joke that once #AI generated grant proposals 💩citing AI generated papers 💩are “reviewed” by AI, the system implodes and academics will come to their senses.
But the truth is, that system won’t implode in its own. It doesn’t need quality or substance to keep running. To these 💩 systems, the collapse of intellectual substance is an economic externality, just as pollution has been an externality for industry for too long.
