Have you noticed how awkward it is to tell an academic the AI output they're using is fake info? Or the fact they're regularly 'talking' to a chatbot has made their communication sound weird and overly complex? Or you don't trust telling them anything, or believe anything they say anymore?

Like Twitter, every website you use today was made by somebody, and like Twitter, every website will go functionally extinct some day. It's transient data on computers made by people, and those fail, in time.
