You ever work on a manuscript for a while and then realize you have no real idea what the point of the research you did was? ๐Ÿงช๐ŸŒพ

It's especially bad for us academics because according to my cursory googling AI checkers ping academic writing more than other types because of its overly formal tone ๐Ÿ˜ฎโ€๐Ÿ’จ

yeah i mean im on the same page but if someone is reading 5000 scholarship applications the first filter they're going to run them through is an AI checker

on top of everything else to consider when I'm writing, I have to make sure that I sound "human enough" for the AI checkers. From what I can tell, this often entails drastically lowering the quality of your writing in order to "maintain varied sentence structure"

spent three hours writing a scholarship essay only for three different AI checkers to say it was 17%, 42%, and 88% AI generated. I'm cooked guys. This sucks ๐Ÿงช๐ŸŒพ

The disappearing art gallery in your post office The U.S. Postal Service is home to thousands of historic works of art in post offices nationwide. Hundreds have been lost, sold or destroyed.

๐Ÿ‘€ What if I told you there was a hidden art gallery scattered across the country?

What if I told you some of its treasures had vanished?

What if I told you that I found them?

sometimes i have a really hard time understanding something because i can't wrap my head around it being that simple. I was struggling to understand GWAS and then realized "oh my god it's just fancy "what genes does the experimental have that the control doesn't""
