Recently, I was peer reviewing a paper, and it cited one of my papers. Except... it wasn't anything I had written. The title sounds like something I'd write. It included coauthors I work with, and was in a journal I've published in. But it wasn't real. AI is not good for science.

The masses were becoming too informed and unruly. ai was specifically developed to destroy human culture and knowledge. it's a huge disinformation machine, tearing at society's fabric. A Babel Tower.

I've had students come and bring me citations to "check" as part of their research. I do checking, and can't find them. When I ask the student, "oh, I got them on the (insert AI machine here)." But yea, my campus is going all in on AI, sending people to "take classes" on it, so on. Fuck!

1. We need firm policy on this. 2. There need to be consequences. 3. The journals need to lead the way.

This happened to a colleague of mine in an application he and I were shortlisting for. People do not DO NOT think when they reach for these LLM tools.

Can you elaborate on your response? This is basically submitting falsified research for publication. This is how the next Wakefield will get into print.

I know University are though on Plagiarism. But what about false information? Any punishment?

And it means the person (?) who wrote the paper clearly did not read it - undermining credibility of the paper as a whole.

Reminds me of law students using chatGPT only for it to cite court cases that don’t even exist. We’re surrendering to the dissolution of the body of human knowledge. We need bans on this, and AI companies need to stop lying about what LLM even do.

This is very bad but isn't the problem also that they shouldn't cite something they haven't read? Or that they haven't at least downloaded and added to the pile of things they swear they're going to read? they obviously didn't even try to do that

AI is great for science, if used correctly. The problem is that rather than focusing on teaching tech literacy on a topic, there is irrational opposition to the technology.

Had the privilege of sharing this with my students: I gave ChatGPT the same assignment I gave them. In 2/4 cases, ChatGPT chose to make up references that seem plausible (authors that indeed study that organism; real journals; etc) but do not actually exist or exist somewhere entirely different.

the most unsettling one of these created a paper i definitely hadn't written, co-authored by someone who at the time i had never published with or even worked with but who was senior author on a paper we'd just submitted it was really weird

I see this as a librarian all the time. Doctoral students bringing me citations they can’t find the full text for. “Where did you find the citation?” “ChatGPT.” Ugh. GenAI is a tool, but not for this. It’s like trying to drive a nail with a screwdriver.
