Researcher predicts AI disclosure norms will be dead in 5 years as compelled speech

- Researcher RexDouglass quotes a colleague's guilt over using AI in academia and declares "AI disclosures are a meme that'll be dead in 5 years," arguing academia is gatekeeping and heckler's-veto culture that keeps inventing compelled-speech checks.
- He says junior researchers suffer most, internalizing these acknowledgements into their identity before the norms evaporate. The quoted author had compared AI disclosure to a scarlet letter: valuing AI for catching real errors in long documents while feeling guilty, and seeing a case for supervised AI use.
