Thanks to McDonalds, I don't have to do that!
@lawprofblawg Wait to the moment Prof Lennart Nacke realizes, that ChatGPT can "read" these papers, but that does not mean, he as a scientist gains the knowledge.

@lawprofblawg The research game?

@lawprofblawg I got my PhD free in a box of cereal. All I have to do now is ask Claude questions, but I'm too lazy to be bothered doing even that.

@lawprofblawg wait there's an episode of Star Trek: The Next Generation about this. Q gets confused why Dr. Crusher insists on manually doing her research and experiments.
@c0debabe @lawprofblawg also one where artists just use An Interesting
tool to sculpture things into a block. -
@lawprofblawg It's not even McDonalds. It's like pieces of foam painted to look like food. It doesn't even perform the function it's purported to on a minimal level. It just looks like the same thing to a really noncritical observer.
That comment was written by someone who utterly fails to understand what research *is*.
not really food... so... mcdonalds?
I assumed it was all processed plastic like velveeta.

There is a tremendous danger here that people start relying on #AI so much they don't bother to learn on their own, and eventually unable to "fact check" what they are told to know if it's correct or not.

@lawprofblawg@mstdn.social but if the llm had read for him, what would he know?
Also, what kind of experiment would an llm be able to perform and test? None in the real world that I can think of.
(All that, on top of all the other issues with llms)@bovaz @lawprofblawg They are trying:
https://www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/2025.08.01.668204v1.full.pdf+htmlIt’s great to automate this, the reason we need LLMs for multidimensional optimisation when we have several numerical approaches for this is still unclear to me though.

@lawprofblawg I used to spend years lifting heavy weights, slowly building my strength and endurance, fighting through fatigue and lack of motivation.
A forklift could have lifted all that weight in an instant.
The weight lifting game has changed forever.
@krig @lawprofblawg I used to spend 10 minutes walking to the neighborhood grocery store. On the way I met neighbors, cleaned up litter, saw interesting flowers and artwork people on people's homes and businesses, got exercise, and didn't pollute the air, make loud noise, put anyone's life at risk.
A car could get me there in 2 minutes. The transportation game has changed forever. Are we really proud of that in hindsight?

@lawprofblawg @aleen why do the work when you can skip the work and get a prize as if you had?

Most primary school students waste weeks doing repetitive arithmetic calculations that a pocket calculator or calculator app could crush in seconds…
The process is the point, not just the immediate product. -

@aretaon@digitalcourage.social @lawprofblawg@mstdn.social probably the same reason why we "need" llms for about anything else they sell them for. -

@bovaz @lawprofblawg Well, of course. But the bullshit machine lets you cheat with much less effort.
