Isaac Asimov was a professional writer long before he entered his doctorate program. When he was writing his thesis he was advised to try to make it sound like it had been written by a chemist and not an author.
To practice 'scientific' style writing he wrote a comic piece.

No matter how bad the writing was, this is not a good thesis supervisor! It's funny to read the sassy reply, but I'd hate this professor...
Even doctoral students are still students and are there to learn.
A better review would have been something like "There are severe issues with the structure of the text" and then refer to an external resource on technical writing...
These are screenshots of videos from TikTok. The images are exactly as redacted as in the original videos. OP has not changed anything. You can see the TikTok account right in each screenshot. Here it is:
I disagree with this comment only because it is building and bolstering the precedent that everyone is using these models all the time and every written thing is generated from an LLM, even when there is no evidence to support it.
The various grammar errors and random capitalizations push toward "human" and the only support for it being LLMgen'd is the fact that it is poetic.
I'm skeptical just because their email signature changes - I haven't touched mine in years, so why does Prof. Kutaywa go from being first supervisor to just supervisor?
Yeah, that's suspicious. It could be that it's not automatic and they're handwriting-typing it each time. I personally don't have an email signature set up for the "Regards, Name" bit as I tend to change them based on tone and if I want an end signature at all.
I'm now worried that OP is running a social experiment on us to determine how long it takes a community to realize they supported the wrong side based on superficial and one sided reporting
I'm fine with you posting more but it would've been cool to have them in one big post - you can insert images into the body of a post (where you might usually put text commmentary) and it formats quite nicely

When he went for his orals, the last question was to explain the exact nature of Thiotimoline.

I would love such a frank but witty feedback like this, though. Better than ones that humourlessly punch down on your inexperience.

You forgot to blur out a fairly distinctive name.

This doesn’t look like an automated signature to me.

Faith,
Please do not stop posting these. Please do not dump all of them into a single post.
You must continue to give us a steady trickle of these emails.
Please, Faith, continue at this pace, and then at the end give us a single post containing all of them, as a recap, in case we missed one.
Thank you, Faith
