Taylor & Francis and Wiley sold out their researchers in bulk, this should be a crime.
Researchers need to be able to consent or refuse to consent and science need to be respected more than that.

Look, I'm not against AI and automation in general. I'm not against losing my job either. We should use this as tools to overcome scarcity, use it for the better future of all of humanity. I don't mind losing my job if I could use my time to do things I love. But that won't happen as long as greedy ass companies use it against us.
We conquered our resource scarcity problem years ago. Artificial scarcity still exists in society because we haven't conquered our greed problem.
Both of you argue from the flawed assumption that AI actually has the potential that marketing people trying to bullshit you say it has. It doesn't.
AI has its usage. Not the ones people cream their pants about, but to say it's useless is just wrong. But people tend to misunderstand what AI, ML, and whatever else is. Just like everyone was celebrating the cloud without knowing what the cloud was ten, twenty years ago.
It has its uses but none of them include anything even close to replacing entire jobs or even significant portions of jobs.
I disagree, but I might have different experiences.
It doesn't matter what it's good for. What matters is what the MBA parasites think it's good for.
They will impulsively replace jobs, and then when it fails, try to rehire at lower wages.
