I think we should require professionals to disclose whether or not they use AI.
Imagine you’re an author and you pay an editor $3000 and all they do is run your manuscript through ChatGPT.

I think we should require professionals not to use the thing currently termed AI.
Or if you think it’s unreasonable to ask them not to contribute to a frivolous and destructive fad or don’t think the environmental or social impacts are bad enough to implement a ban like this, at least maybe we should require professionals not to use LLMs for technical information
