Alternatively, they could have modernised the grant review process by paying human reviewers for their labour, ensuring a wider pool and speedy turnaround. Using AI here is likely a race to the bottom: uniqueness is at risk of being ironed out. What a world. 2209

Ian Graham @iangraham.bsky.social · 29/08/2026It doesn't work like that anymore. The subscription versions are RAGs and will get citations correct and will give you quotes if you ask for them. We have students who are willing to pay the subscriptions. They aren't even breaking our rules which penalise the writing and not the "research". 100
Ian Graham @iangraham.bsky.social · 29/08/2026Detection software will not stave off the end for assessment through essays and dissertations because students ask AI to generate a series of notes and bullet points.. the AI then searches for the sources and all the student has to do is turn those notes into text. Works for journal papers too 100
