People, students, the public are still going to ask models “what a Victorian engineer would have said about X,” and we might want to know how good or bad the answers are. +
Sub your scholarly topic for Ted's, and the observation stays the same. GenAI models are the new mass media, whether we like or not. You cannot "should" people out of using them. You might be able to convince them to go beyond. But the first question is if experts w know what non-experts are told.

I don't disagree with all of this but I'm not convinced that in the pre-AI world "a paper stands or falls on procedure, not on whose lab it came from" is correct. Academic knowledge production has always been about fairly bad indicators of prestige and reputation.
