The use of AI in research is producing three tribes. The gatekeepers — the Pangramiani — care about provenance: research is a profession, authorship matters, and AI should be banned, discouraged, or marked through disclosure. The AI cultists care about results: if knowledge advances, who cares whether it came from a human, a machine, or both? Pangram delenda est. And now a third tribe is emerging: the curators/storytellers. As AI starts cracking increasingly hard mathematical proofs, discovery itself becomes less scarce. The human role shifts to understanding the result, judging its importance, connecting it to what we know, and explaining it to everyone else.

Finally an attempt to focus on whether someone knows what the wiring is about as opposed to whether someone typed the paper with their own keystrokes.
