Shit like: "This reframes the issue as a question about the structural conditions governing the relation between representational architecture and explanatory adequacy."

i'm serious. academic papers were/are proto-AI slop

they're deliberately and superfluously stacked with abstractions to the extent that it detracts from the clarity of the substance being presented

part of the reason why LLMs write the way they do is because they were trained on so many academic papers and academic papers were given disproportionate weight in their training

i don't even read academic papers anymore. i put them in LLMs and have them summarize them for me in clear language. anything that's unclear/needs more elucidation i ask the LLM to elaborate on

i assume everyone else with a clue is doing the same thing
