@thegautamkamath I did this to students who clearly used LLMs to write their papers.
Every single one refused to back down despite their own ignorance backing up my claim.
I'd bet these interviewees also held firm that "this was all a mistake" and 'they don't know what happene

Nihar Shah did a heroic experiment for TMLR: he spent 20-25 hours over two weeks interviewing authors of seemingly low-quality submissions about their own papers.
He confirmed what we all suspected: people submitting these papers have *no idea* what is going on in them.

If you think no one notices: they do. It's really, really obvious.

every day I feel like shouting into the void: if you wish to be known as a professional of high taste, do not post AI slop
the game is long, and you risk your reputation sinking rapidly amongst the people who matter.
Thank you for your attention to this matter!

As LLMs make things easier, we must raise our expectations on what researchers are expected to produce.
This is particularly true for writing: clear writing was rarely a focus in scientific publication, and it's only got worse due to LLMs. We're trying to reverse this trend.

@thegautamkamath @UWCheritonCS I cannot remember a time when I did not think highly of your work.
It says something about the state of academia that, in spite of your pedigree and accomplishments, the path you actually followed was this fragile.

To spell some of it out:
- The colleagues are kind & brilliant
- The students are exceptional, 2nd to no other school
- Minimal BS in the way of research
Cons:
- cold
- canadian geese are scary (but cute)
If you want to do world-class research, look no further than UWaterloo CS

Today's my last day at @UWCheritonCS, before I go on leave.
I applied to 30+ faculty positions in Fall 2017. 3 interviewed me, only 1 offer.
I'm deeply grateful that Waterloo CS alone saw potential here. I'm sad to be leaving and I will remain its loudest advocate. https://t.co
