Like every research tool, the problem is not the tool but the human.
LLMs are compatible with whatever kind of science *you* believe in and practice.
If you believe in being patient and self-critical, LLMs can help you do that. If you believe in rushing to publish more beans, they do that too.
@georgiatomova.bsky.socialAre LLMs ever compatible with slow science?
Even if they aren’t used to necessarily “produce more”, don’t they remove the friction that would normally make us stop, think, and slowly figure things out?
And isn’t slow science mostly about taking the time to think?
