I've been thinking about this in the context of research project applications, which often have to be dozens of pages long and every sentence perfectly formulated to show we are competent and tick all the boxes. Now we can just have AI do it. I'm waiting patiently for people to realize this and start an era of post-perfectionism.
I want my applications to be like this:
"So we've published some papers in clay chemistry now [1-4], and lots of things have been done by others lately [5,6], so i was thinking i could work together with Mike Hunt over at University of Stoneworthingtonham to expand those ideas and also see what happens when you put the clay in an oven. Could we get some cash for that?"
(Instead of putting the same thing into an AI and have it write it professionally)
Someone wise said that technology wants to spread into every corner of our lives. AI is no different. I just wish we could skip all the hype and realize it's a useful tool for some things, and that's it. Just like my fridge doesn't need to have wifi.
