Honestly, it's a bit of a disappointment

- Many more mediocre papers written (mediocre ideas, implementation, claude-isms everywhere)

- Much easier to try every possible combination of a regression in order to show the result you want (same for theorists).

The one thing I'm happy about is it's now much easier to extract historical data from old documents from Google Books. Still not perfect, but takes you 95% there. And creating plots and datavis just for quick exploration is super fast.
