The author observes that norms around AI use in research are shifting in real time — almost nobody defends shaming colleagues for using AI, and even those who grant detectors like Pangram work criticize the policing. Half-jokingly, he proposes a prediction market on when academics give up shaming AI use, with a resolvable criterion: a major academic publisher adopts an explicit policy that 100% AI-written papers are acceptable. His bet: within three years.
