GPT-5 regularly asks you why you are not citing its work. GPT-5 always believes your estimator is biased. GPT-5 has more of a comment than a question. Sometimes GPT-5 tells you stories about grad school and expresses regret about getting a PhD. GPT-5's mom wonders when it will start making money.

Excited to share that this paper is now forthcoming at the Journal of Politics. It has been a looooooong journey (5 years in the making)! Too many people to thank but most importantly my advisors, three anonymous reviewers and the people of Bihar - forever indebted to their generosity. #gendersky
