I saw a sketchy anti-birth control flyer in the women’s restroom on my college campus. Of course I threw away the flyer, and I’m very concerned!

People may honestly labor under the belief that ChatGPT is a search engine comparable to the Google of yesteryear. They're mistaken. That's not a difference of opinion. Calling it a search engine, shows you don't understand how LLMs work. ChatGPT is deeply flawed, often in ways invisible to users.

LLMs impress the writers who do not want to write, the coders who don't want to code, the researchers who don't want to research, and the lawyers that don't want to actually understand case law. Those that desperately tell you how powerful Al is and that you simply must use it are looking for you to validate their own laziness or distaste for effort, and those who are impressed with LLMs' outputs tend to be people with low standards.

If you’re an academic and you use generative AI in your writing I have zero respect for you. If u tell me this I am not nodding or being sanctimonious I am throwing up

Screenshot from article in the Chronicle By Brayden G King
April 16, 2026

ell a roomful of academics that you use Al in your writing and watch what happens. A few will nod. Most will go quiet in that
particular way that means they re embarrassed on your behalf. Someone will bring up plagiarism. Someone else will invoke the sanctity of the scholarly voice.
And then, later, several of them will corner you privately and ask which tools you use and how.
