AI help in grant proposals tied to higher funding odds at NIH
But funding proposals to US agencies also tend to be more similar to previously funded projects if they are written or edited with the help of a chatbot.

I often say the field tries / wants to simplify too quickly when it comes to the brain and #AI / #ML is a great example of this. Before we can use a nifty wearable we need the more robust model to scale down from in terms of channels and data quality… otherwise how will the models learn? More soon..
