Reposted by Jan Kabatek 💙💛Ethan Mollick @emollick.bsky.social · 27/04/2026Very cool analysis of the submissions to a major management journal that shows how much the system of science, built for humans, is under strain as a result of AI. AI can be used to do better science or it can be used to just do more stuff. The danger is that "more" is winning due to incentives. 36018
