True. I _feel_ like I can find a good balance because I know and have experienced the _before_ times, but some junior colleagues already feel ill-equipped at this point to deal with AI hallucinations.

What's interesting, too, is that some journals seem to approach the use of AI with a [Don't ask, don't tell](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Don%27t_ask,_don%27t_tell) mentality. I am still rarely asked during submission if I used AI in the creation of an article.

I think this is already occurring, tbh, and I don't think there's a way back.

My bad experiences using AI as a physicist

Your comments about the referees and junior colleagues is what scares me most.

It seems like we're gonna have a harder time trusting each other that we're interacting with a real human intelligence and not ChatGPT.  Because ChatGPT does a good enough job of simulating human intelligence most times, it's easy for the human side of us to get lazy and use ChatGPT as a substitute.  I'm not optimistic that we can prevent this from occurring.
