Despite the existence of Generative AI (GenAI) preceding OpenAI鈥檚 release of ChatGPT in November of 2022, that event catalyzed a wide embrace of such tools across almost all aspects of daily life. GenAI tools have turned up in such unlikely places as dating apps and even in hospital rooms. But for academics, such tools have been extremely polarizing, being openly embraced by some as collaborators in the knowledge process, while being cursed and scorned by so many others who accuse it of trying to automate the juice of academic work itself: deep thought. As a result, there is a good deal of academic (and public/popular) discourse about whether these tools can substitute for humans in all sorts of different relationships, both intimate and professional.
