<p>> Seriously? You can't fathom an honest researcher asking for AI to find a citation they know exists, and the AI inserting or modifying a citation incorrectly without them realizing?<p>Indeed I cannot. If you do that, you are not, in fact, an honest researcher. You're a lazy hack.</p>

<p>> You’re right that a single hallucinated line is not evidence of reckless disregard<p>It absolutely is.<p>> - because that could have happened on a final follow-up pass after you had performed due diligence.<p>A "final follow-up pass" that lets the LLM make whatever changes it deems appropriate <i>completely negates</i> all the due diligence you did before, unless you very carefully review the diffs. And a new or substantially changed citation should stand out in that diff so much that there's no possible excuse to missing it.<p>> It’s happened to me.<p>Then you were guilty of reckless disregard.<p>> I know how challenging it can be to keep bad patterns out of LLM generated output<p>If your research paper contains <i>any</i> LLM generated output you did not manually vet, you are a hack and should not get published.</p>

<p>Yes, I get that. I just don't think that interpretation is a good fit for the concept, since that was formulated from the POV of practical usability and cognitive load.<p>Though... now that I think about it, maybe it <i>does</i> fit - it's all about the question "practical usability for <i>what</i>?"<p>I suppose that if what you actually want to do is model and reason about theoretical computability, then most things that make languages convenient to implement things in actually <i>are</i> accidental complexity!</p>

<p>I'm not sure the concepts of accidental vs. essential complexity really applies here. Is it really "accidental complexity" that is being removed when the result is harder to understand and less practically usable?</p>

<p><i>Everything</i> everywhere ever (except perhaps some of the larger wars in China) was underwhelming compared to WW1. That's why it's so famous.<p>But you were specifically claiming that Europe was "more peaceful than places like the areas of the ottoman empire", which is frankly absurd. I mean, we're talking about a region that had a Thirty Years' War, an Eighty Years' War, <i>and</i> a Hundred Years' War!<p>Unless... if you're talking about WW1 "ending the era" - were you talking only about a shorter timeframe prior to WW1? If we look only at the 40 or so years before 1914, then indeed Europe had a fairly peaceful period (Belle Époque, Gründerzeit) while the Ottoman Empire was basically starting its death throes.</p>

<p>Keep in mind that the story is actually embedded in Kafka's "The Trial", and discussed by two characters within that story, who have very different views of its meaning.<p>I think it is very deliberately written to be impossible to "understand".

<p>> A mission that merely orbited Venus and returned without attempting to muck about with airships might be an intermediate step on the way to Mars.<p>I think that's exactly what the article is arguing for.
