Cover Story: LLM-based generative AI tools are convenient, quick, and output enhancing. The paper explores epistemological issues associated with AI use in academic writing. These include (1) epistemic detriment or harm in terms of illusions of understanding, (2) potential for cognitive dulling or impairment, and (3) AI dependency (both habitual and/or emotional). AI use in academic writing thus creates intrinsic problems that are epistemic in nature. These epistemic downsides call for restraint and moderation beyond common regulatory measures to address ethical issues in AI use. View this paper
