Oh FFS… one of the higher ups at my place of work (biophysics and optics) was asking me, if I was willing to give a seminar on #AI and how to effectively use it. For context: I'm surrounded by sloperators; even my boss has become addicted.
The number of times I'm told "you could be so much more productive, if you just used AI" (no I wouldn't because I don't measure productivity in LoC).
Anyway, if I'm going to give that seminar, it's going to be a "don't use #slopbots" angle.
Anyway, please send me paper recommendations showing the measurably ill effects of the use of LLMs in academic use. Every angle you can think of:
- deskilling effects
- plagiarism and copyright
- is the generated code actually licensable?
- measurable vs. perceived productivity
- technical debt
- code quality / readability
…
You want a #seminar on #slop – okay (#malicious_compliance activated).
