most people i know (undergrad linguistics) seem pretty anti-AI, but that might just be the people i know, and those are also largely the people who seem to have more of an interest in linguistics. it's also possible there's some effect of it just being kind of bad for a fair amount of the sorts of things we need to do (at least when i played around with it maybe a year ago it was pretty bad at dealing with sound changes for example)

i know i don't and i'm pretty sure a lot (most?) of the people i know don't either, but then again i don't think my degree has amazing job prospects (so it seems to be largely people interested it) and it also doesn't cost american sums of money, so maybe that doesn't say that much.

I think i generally agree with this, although this seems like it basically removes the need to actually look for sources yourself, which feels like it's an important thing to learn to do. That said i don't think i have a better idea so
