I just realized I have lost the ability to simply read and enjoy. I have to constantly quiz myself on what I read or criticize the content. Does anyone else suffer from this curse? Any solutions?

Or even way before that: when the experiments are being designed and analyses begin to be decided. These days delegating experimental design and analysis to AI is not uncommon.

If you are collaborating with another researcher on a paper, it is now essential to discuss and agree on your AI usage policy before any writing gets done.
