Seriously, Worldcon? FFS... they have an "expert" who's worked with LLMs "since the 90s" (uh, I don't think so!), but they don't have a single person available who can write them a script to parallelize and speed up web searches? I don't think it was about time, at least if we believe their claim that they're reviewing the ChatGPT output (which they will do without searches, how?); I think it was about playing with the shiny toy regardless of the impact.
