Summary
This week, we’re joined by writer, academic and creator John Duncan to talk about the effects Large Language Models are having on academic writing and research. John talks about the growing number of AI hallucinations that are appearing in academic papers and articles and what it reveals about the poor working and pay conditions of academics in the UK and around the world. John also talks about the dangers this poses to future research and knowledge production, which might be bad if we ever face a public health crisis again. We also talk about the Pope’s Encyclical on the AI industry, why it’s less radical or revolutionary than has been reported, and why any notion of ‘ethical AI’ should be disregarded.
