The emotional whirlwind of responding to spammers:
A transcript of a text message exchange between me and a spammer. The spammer writes: "Beautiful day! I'm Kelly from PrideStaff, will you be receptive to new employment?" I respond: "would you be receptive to fucking off?" Kelly responds "Sure"; I respond "Great--thank you! have a good day." Kelly: "You too."

Just received a request to review a research proposal that included this paragraph. Weird times.
We do not encourage you to incorporate AI tools into your evaluation. Also, note that the confidentiality requirements of the ISF might not be fulfilled by most AI platforms. If you choose to do so, your written evaluation is still considered a reflection of YOUR PERSONAL ASSESMENT of the proposal, and we hold YOUR referee report in the highest regard.
