They already did that, it's called a PhD dissertation.

They should invent an essay where you just do research forever and then you never write anything

Isn't it ironic that in a society where loneliness is rising, it’s also harder to spend time in pure solitude? We’re spending more time by ourselves, but we’re not really spending it with ourselves. The next distraction is always a mouse click or a swipe away.

Yes, generative ai is bad and is a significant threat, but we need to remember that progress is going to come as with difficulty

I let myself rest and now I'm daydreaming about academia and academic research and writing again

Oh this is top tier academic beef right here

The holy grail of searching through academic literature is coming across a string of publications that are like:

Here’s An Idea. Smith et al. 2016

Terrible Idea; a comment on Smith et al. 2016. Johnson 2016.

You’re Wrong Too; a response to Johnson 2016. Nelson 2016.

Guys Just Stop Fighting, None Of Us Know What’s Going On; a Review of the Current Literature. McBrien 2017.

"The shift from the Afro-Caribbean zombie to the U.S. zombie is clear: in Caribbean folklore, people are scared of becoming zombies, whereas in U.S. narratives people are scared of zombies. This shift is significant because it maps the movement from the zombie as victim (Caribbean) to the zombie as an aggressive and terrifying monster who consumes human flesh (U.S.). In Haitian folklore, for instance, zombies do not physically threaten people; rather, the threat comes from the voduon practice whereby the sorcerer (master) subjugates the individual by robbing the victim of free will, language and cognition. The zombie is enslaved."

— Justin D. Edwards, "Mapping Tropical Gothic in the Americas" in Tropical Gothic in Literature and Culture.
