well, actually, it's better to train them not at all, and if anyone advocates their use, to kick them in the nads repeatedly

I don't know of one that has definitively said that they won't.

Fuck it, we're going to have to found a publisher.

Researchers are being told to work faster to feed some LLM so it can get butchered and fed to people who can't be bothered to glaze over a single paper, so they can regurgitate it and say "I did the research". I bet researchers love this
