I’m a new associate editor of Wiley earth science journals.
This last December at the annual AGU meeting, I learned that the authors own self-reported use of ai/ml in any stage of production of work is 80%.
It’s shocking to me.
I asked folks how the can use it. I explain that I tried it for coding, and llms will write code that claims there are 360 degrees of longitude and latitude with full confidence.
We don’t need new works publishing summaries of old works. With any possibility of hallucinations. AI can produce those faster that human fact checkers can filter them out.
New works should focus on what is novel. They should only include the bits not replaceable by AI.
We don’t need AI to keep spinning obfuscating, time wasting wheels.
