Getting it to write your shit for you is definitely poor ethics, but using it for research is definitely not. Anyone who objects to AI being used for research is basically using the same argument used by the lady who screams at you for driving an SUV because you’re killing the planet

I don’t think anybody here objects to machine learning being used with protein folding simulations or weather prediction etc. actually beneficial use cases. Language model bullshit is what’s the subject of discussion here.

  I gotcha, I always get confused when people rant against AI. The LLM stuff is definitely bullshitty, but it’s good for teaching people how to code. It’s certainly not good for writing code, but the code it writes does work, so I think you can use it as kind of a rough draft
