Using chatbots to draft proposals for major funding agencies seems to improve funding rates, but makes projects less innovative.
Is AI on track to narrow scientific exploration?

Grant proposals drafted with AI help more likely to win NIH funding

But funding proposals to US agencies also tend to be more similar to previously funded projects if they are written or edited with the help of a chatbot.

Virginia Tech published something many universities still lack: Practical guidance on how to use AI responsibly in research - step by step, across the entire research lifecycle.

Not abstract principles. Concrete prompts. Clear warnings about IP, confidentiality, hallucinations, and dual-use risks. #AI should support thinking — not replace it.

Considerations for the Responsible and Ethical Use of AI

A slightly tongue-in-cheek AI animation of a conceptual model showing leakage of highly mineralized mine waters into a carbonate aquifer:

Yes - it’s simplified. Yes - real systems are messier.
But sometimes a "clean" visual helps to communicate density-driven flow and reactive processes more intuitively than 20 pages of equations.

The animation idea emerged while working on my monograph. Draft versions are available here:

Engineering humor is allowed - even in hydrogeochemistry 😁

AI tools are flooding science with low quality papers, boosting productivity but masking weak research and forcing journals to rethink scholarly merit is judged
