Comment on Microsoft Study Finds Relying on AI Kills Your Critical Thinking Skills

When it was new to me I tried ChatGPT out of curiosity, like with why tech, and I just kept getting really annoyed at the expansive bullshit it gave to the simplest of input. “Give me a list of 3 X” lead to fluff-filled paragraphs for each. The bastard children of a bad encyclopedia and the annoying kid in school.
I realized I was understanding it wrong, and it was supposed to be understood not as a useful tool, but as close to interacting with a human, pointless prose and all. That just made me more annoyed. It still blows my mind people say they use it when writing.

Please show me the peer-reviewed scientific journal that requires a minimum number of words per article.
Seems like these journals don’t have a word count minimum: paperpile.com/blog/shortest-papers/

They in fact often have word and page limits and most journal articles I’ve been a part of has had a period at the end of cutting and trimming in order to fit into those limitds.

That makes sense considering a journal can only be so many pages long.
