Cries in "The Doctor" from Voyager.

The Doctor would absolutely agree. He was intended to be a short-term assistant when a doctor wasn't available, and he was personally affronted when he discovered that he wouldn't be replaced by a human in any reasonable amount of time.

I literally just can't wrap my AuDHD brain around professional formatting. I'll probably use AI to take the paper I wrote while ignoring archaic and pointless rules about formatting and force it into APA or whatever. Feels fine to me, but I'm but going to have it write the actual paper or anything.

AFAIK those only help the instructor with grading as it would put all the essays they need to review on an even (more or less) playing ground. I've never really seen any real use in the professional world outside of scholarly/scientific journals.

My opinion is that they tend to stifle creativity of expression and the evolution of our respective languages.
