Got this email earlier and I’m still upset about it. Some unnamed “team from #Northwestern, #Stanford & #Cornell” fed our preprint through their “#AI" to generate "suggestions" on how we could improve it.
This feels like some really shit #HCI study that seems to think asking for consent is optional. And like one that wants to spin out into an even shittier start-up in the future (hence not giving any names of team members)?
I am currently revisiting the "Openness Profile" by Knowledge Unlatched.
This quote points to a bigger systemic problem in the academic world than some might realise. These collegial care activities are a) extremely important for science as a social system, not least for the integration of new minds into the community and b) they prevent people from working on papers and grants with the same effort as those (men) who avoid them.
