Instead of listing every possible thing the latest AI/LLM CAN do, the question is, what are the sort of things in academia and publishing that we WANT humans to do? And are we funding/rewarding/prioritizing that?

This thread is hilarious. Given the environmental impact of some of these privately-owned LLMs that reason like PhDs that can formulate our email responses one might have to rethink their general use. Maybe something good would be to charge 15 Euro per month for use
