Exactly. Leave them to it and leave the humans out of it.

maybe we can just leave all the exams and all the grading and all the university paperwork to AIs to fight out amongst themselves, and get back to just having discussions with students to teach them things if they want to learn.

The question I wouldn't want to answer is how many papers were also there at the beginning of 2025, or beginning of 2024...

That toxic waste will then pollute the data sets used to train the next generation of AI models, leading to ‘model collapse’ as the AI tries and fails to model incoherent garbage, vomiting out yet more incoherent garbage in the process. Meanwhile repositories of scholarly information are destroyed.

Right, why should 2026 get the credit for something that was mostly done in 2025.
