While I'm stuck in Cape Town I'm finalising the @… second 18 month report. And honestly, it's *awesome* what we have achieved.

This is genuinely terrifying. Google Scholar is pushing "AI Powered Scholar Search."
What's scariest about this is that it will almost certainly turn up results that feel *right* -- they'll mention relevant topics and let a researcher craft a perfectly unassailable reference list.
But what it will prevent the researcher from doing is the actual research of finding relevant publications: discovering connections, framing questions, identifying contrasts…

Google Scholar "Labs": Scholar is now an LLM frontend. ☹️ #enshittification

OK, but the results are still just paper links, not what the LLM thinks about them. So the only thing that changed is that it is much much slower now?
Maybe the LLM just formulates a query to the old scholar? Too many layers of "oh how can we build an LLM into this"...
OK, nobody in #math uses Google Scholar like this anyway. We only use it look at publication records of people and do reverse citation search (which papers cite this one I have).
