AI can make research faster, but used carelessly it produces generic, error-prone work that reviewers, supervisors and examiners can spot immediately.

The Antidote to AI Slop in Academia shows you how to use these tools the right way: to think more clearly, find and check the literature properly, and produce work that’s unmistakably yours.

It’s the flagship course of the Academia Insider community, built over three months around what my audience told me they actually struggle with, and backed by masterclasses on the specific AI tools and workflows that hold up to academic scrutiny.

Outcomes

  • Use AI with confidence and integrity
  • Choose the right tool for each research task
