It may be of interest to philosophers, but it has little impact on economic job replacement and how people will earn their living and all the downstream upheaval from that. At some point maybe philosophers will find AI-generated philosophic

Yes. See ICLR for example, which is a peer-reviewed conference, on the OpenReview platform, with no publisher involved, the papers are just hosted on the OpenReview website. It's a similar situation with ICML. NeurIPS also doesn't

You can criticize things of course, like you can shake your fist at a cloud too when you'd rather want a sunny day, but the results may vary. You're asking people to refrain from using a cost-saving technology and instead spend mo

It shows that the issue is much broader and myopically focusing on how math PhD students will be evaluated etc. entirely misses the forest for the trees, it's just not even close in proportionality. This is indeed also coming for law,
