    Yeah, that checks out. This person would be gushing over ChatGPT instead, if it had already been released at that point. Because clearly, more words = more better. Doesn’t matter, that no one wants to read your 120 articles which all say the same, because you haven’t done any research in between.

      If you don’t have a serious reason for writing something, I don’t have a serious reason for reading it.

      But if I say it enough times it becomes true. If I make enough studies claiming it, then do a meta analysis of those studies, it becomes an accepted fact. (Ah academia)…

    No way that volume of output could have any significant value or contribution to the subject. Just generating clutter.

    Yes, because the hard thing about writing papers is the actual writing.

    Jokes aside, of course I can just write whatever, but if I don’t have any actual research to write about, all of those 4000 words I write a day are just filler that will get deleted after someone remotely intelligent reviews it.

    Academia is not fun 😂

    That might apply to novelists, but if academics spent all that time writing, when would they do the work their papers are about? Most of their time goes into research, data gathering, experimental design, performing experiments, teaching, managing grad students’ work, etc, and then at some point they finally write up their results. Even novelists often spend a lot of time researching so their stories will sound real. Maybe this person is talking about influencers.

      Think tanks be like: if we motivate people by rewarding them with food and sleep they become extremely productive (work 20 hours a day)

    This is related to research in the similar field because of bullshit. Our work expands on the bullshit by bullshitting even more. It’s actually all inconsequential but we cited these guys and who gives a fuck.
