Using qualitative & computational methods to study writers on the internet. I study how machine learning experts communicate. I study the interaction between writers & audiences. Professor @ University of Illinois, Urbana Champaign
A lot of ACM papers are like this. But there are a lot of CS papers that are not peer reviewed. I cited one at some point, when to reread it, only to find it gone.

almost to a student, they reported regular use of AI systems—even the students most loudly and vocally "anti" AI had carved out exceptions—to paint with too broad a brush, students saw their own use of AI as considered, moderate, & defensible while other people’s was lazy, dangerous, condemnable+

I try to make sure they are real papers. A lot of stuff out there is fake (I’ve seen it taken down). But if it’s real, I am okay with it bc there are some papers that take years (econ). But if you aren’t comfortable, your discomfort is well taken.
