Yes. Writing is not a second thing that happens after thinking. The act of writing is an act of thinking. Writing *is* thinking. Students, academics, and anyone else who outsources their writing to LLMs will find their screens full of words and their minds emptied of thought.

Now online in @NDTsocial Multifactorial chronic kidney disease 🧐 Life is long and our kidneys have to take many hits, hence, adult CKD is usually multifactorial as is atherosclerosis or dementia. RF control is key and RF vary across world regions ▶️academic.oup.com/ndt/article-ab…
High or low BMI may influence the accuracy of eGFR. This #ASNJASN study finds indexed eGFRcr-cys to be more accurate than eGFRcr or eGFRcys across the BMI spectrum, improving GFR classification and treatment decisions. kidney.pub/JASN0760
