@RaphaelWimmer we don't hire students in to do a predetermined project, we require them to show up with their own (at least plausible) project and then pitch us on its fit with faculty/questions in the field. That's often a big lift for them, so we read plans of study very carefully to think about their writing ability and aptitude for forming research questions... But there's always a lot of generosity in those evaluations. AI slop, however, is taking up too much of that generosity.

    @RaphaelWimmer I'd love to learn more about how to conduct an effective interview. When I've tried it all the responses seem equally half formed. Plus the time investment is not nothing. Do you have any tips?
