“Vote Green, watch Labour move.” The argument here - which I think is true - is that Labour is understanding more and more that the real threat they face is to their Left, and the Greens are putting actual pressure on Labour

Excellent thread. Key point: AI favours stuff it has seen before, so is inherently incapable of genuine innovation; it is not intelligent in a human sense. PS - very pleased I am a retired academic 😉

If there is no interview stage, it will be impossible to assess the actual competence, knowledge and ability of the applicants. AI is trained on pre-existing content, and is by definition incapable of true innovation. It does not think, it is not intelligent: it plagiarises and iterates, badly. ...

they will be very tempted themselves to turn to AI to assess the overwhelming volume of proposals. And as we know, AI has a pro-AI bias, which will mean that the proposals funded will be AI slop rather than genuine human-driven innovation and creativity.
