I sometimes post some depressing takes on interaction with #academics here. Well, here's a bit more of a funny example.
#LLM use from a PhD, Dr. James Utley.
The fella took my friend's python code (which was generated with LLM, yeah I know) and re-LLM'd it to a terrible rust port. Which I think is fine, but the guy stripped out any attribution or DOI reference. The design, command, function and the name of the program was kept the same.
