AI reduces urge to write papers while UChicago professor publishes 200 in 2026

Krzysztof R. Micinski tweeted that AI has made him write fewer papers, questioning the utility if AI can generate them. Another post highlighted a chaired full professor at UChicago who has published 200 papers in 2026 alone, with the quip that they don't all cite each other—a "rookie mistake." This sparked discussions about paper inflation and AI's impact on academic publishing culture.
