Yeah, that checks out. This person would be gushing over ChatGPT instead, if it had already been released at that point. Because clearly, more words = more better. Doesn’t matter, that no one wants to read your 120 articles which all say the same, because you haven’t done any research in between.

No way that volume of output could have any significant value or contribution to the subject. Just generating clutter.

That sound like elsevier propaganda.

As part of my final paper for my bachelors I had to write 8k words. Took me over a month

That might apply to novelists, but if academics spent all that time writing, when would they do the work their papers are about? Most of their time goes into research, data gathering, experimental design, performing experiments, teaching, managing grad students’ work, etc, and then at some point they finally write up their results. Even novelists often spend a lot of time researching so their stories will sound real. Maybe this person is talking about influencers.

This is related to research in the similar field because of bullshit. Our work expands on the bullshit by bullshitting even more. It’s actually all inconsequential but we cited these guys and who gives a fuck.
