Maybe I am just feeling tired and cynical, but it seems to me that far too many, maybe most, academics are just interested in *what other academics say*.
They build on what other academics say, they criticise what other academics say, the engage with what other academics say.
No attempt to step outside the bubble and find the ground truth.
No wonder academia is so vulnerable to #LLM fakery.
