It’s worth the time to read this thread, plus the connected threads. To follow conversations, and as a result follow people. Saving time is not always the goal, unless you’re convinced “product” & “content” are more valuable than thought, knowledge, and analysis grounded in reality and experience.
I've had one go-round.
"Using AI means I don't read papers that aren't relevant."
"Then you aren't learning the field you're in."
"But I'm saving time."
"Saving time isn't helping you learn the discipline."
"But I'm saving time."
"That's not mastering a discipline though."
"But SAVING TIME."

What Im appreciating are the AI pushers revealing how they in fact do not understand how reading or research works, especially in fields that are not tech, or CS.
But they also appear to have a great deal of contempt for those fields, and many of us in those fields.
Thats aside from their charm.

Back on twitter during the first Trump admin I speculated that Sarah Kendzior was being Cassandra-ized. Her predictions weren’t just being ignored - they were being suppressed out of fear she was right and by people in power who wanted to shut her up. And here we are. She knew!
From my 2022 book THEY KNEW:

This is such CEO Brain bullshit, from a class that is so morbidly afraid of missing The Next Big Thing that they all end up like ants in a death loop because as soon as someone starts chasing a trend, the rest mindlessly follow, no matter how glaringly, obviously bad the trend is.

I think the fundamental gap here is that non-creative people think that creative people make things for the end product, when in fact it’s the act of creation and not the end point that makes it worthwhile.
