Two take aways:
1. If you don't know what an LLM is, and how it works (in high level form), educate yourselves so you can be aware and ask competent questions.
2. AI really can't review grants, but is good at *weaknesses* in applications.

I am begging the national media to start taking this seriously.

Stop buying the claims that the framing of "temporary" or "pause."

They are altering the review processes of federally funded scientific research from merit-based peer review processes to political screening by ideologues.
