Nihar Shah did a heroic experiment for TMLR: he spent 20-25 hours over two weeks interviewing authors of seemingly low-quality submissions about their own papers. He confirmed what we all suspected: people submitting these papers have *no idea* what is going on in them.

This worries me most about AI in science. It's what happened with the advent of Stata and SPSS. They enabled incredibly rapid advances in the sciences and also set the stage for the replication crisis. Sadly, so many scientists simply don't understand the stats they are using.

I don't think it's a named logical fallacy, but there is a type of thinking that has trouble distinguishing "doesn't literally violate the laws of physics" from "should be achievable in a few years with sufficient gumption."

Archeologists speak of years Before Present (BP), with ‘present’ set to January 1, 1950—just before nuclear bomb testing significantly changed the atmospheric ratio of carbon isotopes. Given how AI is rapidly flooding the digital world with bullshit, we may need a similar epoch marker—Jan 1 2025?

Looking forward to this (joint TIM, ENT, SAP, OMT) PDW with Jennifer Whyte, Raghu Garud, and Dimo Dimov at the Academy of Management meeting in Copenhagen. 📢 The Role of Artifacts in Managerial Design 📢 #AOM2025 Program link: cdmcd.co/bRavzm

This PDW examines the central role of artifacts in processes of development and change across fields and practices including entrepreneurship, innovation, project management, strategy, and future-making. In these and other areas, managerial work often amounts to artifact-centered processes in which final outcomes emerge via various “intermediate artifacts” such as conceptual models, material prototypes, digital simulations, and operational plans. Such artifacts serve diverse functions: as focusing devices that produce shared visions and guide concrete actions, as boundary objects that enable feedback and collaboration across domains, and as unfolding artifacts that are left intentionally incomplete to invite creative engagement. While scholars in different fields are theorizing and investigating artifact-centered practices, there is little discussion across fields. This PDW aims to encourage such dialogue.

”I argue that today’s AI excels at recognizing structure, but not at reframing it. It doesn't invent abstractions, ask better questions, or propose new ways of seeing. And that distinction—between fitting the world and reimagining it—is what separates tools of discovery from discovery itself.”
