An LLM "creates textual claims, and then predicts the citations that might be associated with similar text. Obviously, this practice violates all norms of scholarly citation. At best, LLMs gesticulate toward the shoulders of giants." Bender, West, and I contributed to this pro/con piece in PNAS.

Came late to reading this fascinating interview by @eui-eu.bsky.social colleague Sarah Nouwen with Joseph Weiler. Great interview about his family origins, thoughts about rejection, law, and much more.
