I think ironically enough, the AI might actually be the tipping point that forces grant application to put tighter limits on length. Im a part of evaluating compute grant applications, and we are now getting extremely large applications regurgitating completely irrelevant information (some of which i recognized, because i helped author some best practice guides in the field). Its straining our process because we can't ethically offload evaluating the applications to LLMs. I suspect this will be a continuous theme of time; that LLMs will highly strain all human processes that for any reason cannot be offloaded to LLMs.

    I think you can ethically, if not bureaucratically, toss all the grant applications in the garbage and just look at the resumes and publication records, and you'd probably get better results in terms of ensuring the best scientists obtain funding.
