It's great. Now that fancy writing is cheap and infinite, fields whose entire scholarship value was in obscurantist jargon bending have to actually start to turn on their brains and care about making more sense than an LLM can.

What fields rely only on jargon manipulation to produce papers?

[bonoboTP]

I would think that most people can think of some. Maybe those who can't are part of one.

That's a beautiful Kafkatrap you've constructed. Not much of an argument though. Maybe there's another explanation for this though. Perhaps you think you know much more about different fields than you actually do?

Or do they?

[bonoboTP]

Maybe not. But academia is going to change. Status will still have to be allocated by some mechanism but the classic journals and reviews based system will crumble under the weight of LLMs. Of course this will upset a great many of people who enjoy the current state of things.
