CIRCLE WITH A DOT

@EverBeyondReach @cstross I'll be mildly disappointed if this poll is not a setup for this joke

@futurebird And that was about 2 years ago, when this kind of thing would probably be even worse. It took me half an hour to write code to generate the plots and some nice figures with the positions of every tree... I wonder how long they were fighting the chat box to get any kind of answer. Let alone the fact this experiment will be running for years to come. How can people be so careless? (2/2)

@futurebird the first time I had to go nuclear about LLM use in my department was when my boss was showing me her design for a major experiment where they were planting actual trees of different species in long term plots, and when I asked how did they randomise the distribution of species she said the post doc responsible for setting up the experiment had asked chatgpt to randomise it!
