I'm an active researcher in TCS. For me, AI has not been very helpful on technical things (or even technical writing), but has been super helpful for (1) literature reviews; (2) editing papers (e.g., changing a convention everywhere in the paper); and (3) generating Tikz figures/animations.

For perspective, the CS programs in the NSF already have a two-submission limit per year [1].

Besides reducing the incentive to spam, this rule has had another positive effect: As a researcher without funding, you don't have to spend your whole year writing grants. You can, instead, spend your time on actual research.

With that said, NIH grants tend to me much more narrow than CS ones, and I imagine that it takes a lot more grants to keep a lab going...

For perspective, in the same time period, The number of employees at Google multiplied by five. I wouldn't be surprised if the growth of the software industry, at least, actually outpaced the increase in H-1B visas.

For perspective, in the same time period, The number of employees at Google multiplied by five. It seems likely that the number of highly educated positions, in general, increased by quite a bit during that time.
