Same here. I’m an AI professor, but every time I wanted to try out an idea in my very limited time, I’d spend it all setting things up rather than focusing on the research. It has enabled me to do my own research again rather than relying solely on PhD students. I’ve been able to unblock my students and pursue my own projects, whereas before there were not enough hours in the day.

This really resonates. The setup cost was always the killer for me too — by the time you get everything working, the motivation is gone. Now I can actually go from idea to prototype in an afternoon. Cool to hear it's having the same effect on actual research.

		If that’s the case, then mentioning using LLMs to help translate/organise what you want to say in your messages might be taken a bit better by others. If you want to use LLMs to help express something you don’t know the words for in English then that is a good use for LLMs, if it’s called out. Otherwise your messages scream LLM bot to native speakers. “You’re absolutely right”, “That hits different”, “Good call!” “–“ are all classic LLM giveaways. I’m not a moderator here, so you don’t have to listen to me either way.

		you should use your own words. i like them a lot more than with the LLM filter.
