As anecdotal evidence, after recent exchanges with somewhat exasperated colleagues (note: the fields I'm referring to here are not #mathematics, but mainly #ComputationalModelling, e.g. in #EarthSciences, #ecology, #ClimateChange, ... or just simply their #PeerReview !)
- There seems to be a growing prevalence of those who claim that it is obsolete (usual "left-behind syndrome"?) to do scientific/technical work without depending more and more on #generativeAI (allegedly without upper limits)
