Itβs been super hard doing this mostly on my own when Iβm new to it all, and would have been impossible without the help I did get. But I did it. And it will only get easier from here.

God I fucking hate AI-everything. I will actively seek out competitor products that don't thrust this shit down my throat. Thinking is the ENTIRE POINT OF BEING HUMAN.
That's the skeet.

If AI generated grant proposals start getting funded over human made ones, academia is dead.
