• A lot of people are heavily invested – some quite literally – in an AI revolution, and the "everything changes" story gets invoked all the time, often strategically to undermine and shame certain sectors
• AI, as I've argued elsewhere, is a technology of the apocalypse

• If a claim is well-worded, neatly structured, and delivered confidently, it is increasingly accepted as knowledge, or truth, regardless of whether it has any epistemic weight.
• What happens when those responsible for generating knowledge can no longer be sure where it came from, or whether it was constructed through the intellectual efforts that once defined scholarship?
