Just finished reading a great scifi novel, Krysa by Sami Tissari. In draws a grim image of academic research in the AI era: ”Almost all research was automated in the last couple of years. Krysa had learned to do that too. The AI machine came up with the research topics by itself, studied the literature, planned the research arrangements, implemented them and then wrote the research reports.” :-) #bookstodon #scifi #FinnishLitterature
