Michael Barron on "What Remains": "The trip to Ernes is too experiential, its characters too quotidian and carefree, to be fecund for a novel. It is the book’s great strength that it doesn’t have to behave as one." https://lareviewofbooks.org/article/what-remains-lamela-review-autofiction/
Not Exactly a Thesis | Los Angeles Review of Books
Brais Lamela explores fiction, history, and the slipperiness of the nonfiction novel in ‘What Remains,’ newly translated by Jacob Rogers.

#AI may indeed exacerbate our bad academic habits:
#LLM science summaries were nearly five times more likely than human-authored science summaries to contain broad generalizations (95% CI [3.06, 7.70], p < 0.001).
And newer models over-generalized more; not less!

These assignments encourage people to become DIY detectives, exacerbating a boom in conspiracy theories. The “permission structure of doubt” normalises suspicion as a default setting and suggests that another algorithm (like Google’s search) can discover the truth.
