The uncritical adoption of AI in science is alarming — we urgently need guard rails

"We did it, Patrick! We made a technological breakthrough!"
A place for all those who loathe AI to discuss things, post articles, and ridicule the AI hype. Proud supporter of working people. And proud booer of SXSW 2024.
AI, in this case, refers to LLMs, GPT technology, and anything listed as "AI" meant to increase market valuations.
Good guard rails are books and studies published before generative science became a thing.
Heck, even a 15 year old hard drive that sat on a shelf for 15 years with a few gigs of data and never got connected is already worth a ton.
It's like the plague or the dark ages, but electronic. And since so many people rely on this technology, it will be devastating in many ways after the inevitable implosion.
