this isn't really an insight, but more of a revelation of framing things
when people say we no longer need (artists, writers, "to write academic papers", etc....) because chatGPT will do it for us
those people almost always *self-describe* as being uninterested in either *producing* or *consuming* those things
i guess i'm just stuck on the implications of an AI scholar with avowed antipathy toward the material artifacts of our work - the conference papers, journal articles, blog posts, etc...

@ali Very much this!
Taking an (idealistic) journalistic perspective, the (mostly text) outputs of a system like ChatGPT are useless because, by their very nature,
*they cannot tell your readers anything new!*
They can only regurgitate what already exists.
It follows that if you´re a journalist, you can only really be replaced by an AI if you´ve been writing irrelevant drivel all along.
Much the same goes for scientists, I suppose.
