I’ve had several deep experiences in which platitudes held transformative meaning, but I think you’re right.
I think they are symbolic placeholders for something experiential, and holding onto what gives them meaning is like trying to grasp the wind as it blows.






I don’t use them regularly, but I agree. Actual research involving peer-reviewed journals has nothing to do with AI.
EBSCOhost, PNAS, JStore, etc., all continue to exist outside the realm of AI, and I don’t really consider anything to be “research” outside of this realm.
