Ivan Werning proposes a “Dogma 26” vow of zero-AI academic writing

Ivan Werning proposes “Dogma 26” for academic writing, inspired by Lars von Trier’s Dogma 95 film manifesto.
- Core rule: zero AI prose.
- Papers that follow the vow would be labeled “Dogma26” on page one.
- He says this extends an earlier idea of “Dogma 12”: keep introductions under 2 pages.
- The post asks whether such a chastity-style writing manifesto makes sense for academia, or possibly for other forms of writing too.
