NEW from me today: Every technology might seem to displace the library until you realize that the reality is it just creates new roles for the library. Publishers too.

Weird if we do this but don't for retractions...

I think it's pretty likely that in the next few years virtually all academic articles will be run through AI detection and "originality" vs AI stats will published for each school (and possibly each professor individually). I don't think we academics have gotten ahead of that.

That it's common for scholars to be lazy/sloppy/engage in research misconduct is not quite the defense one might think.

I've gotten a lot of comments like this, so forgive me if this isn't very kind, but I'm at my limit. If you're a serious academic, you've spent a lot of time looking at citations, and you know they often contain errors. You know that it's very common for professors just to copy citations they found in other papers and put them into their own papers because they need a lot of citations to look credible. Given that this is going on, it's kind of silly to think that we should have a kind of death penalty for having an LLM, hallucination mistake What you're doing is virtue signaling and pretending that citations are somehow sacred to what academics do, when in fact they're mostly just poorly put up window dressing. You're being dishonest. Perhaps with yourself, perhaps with me.
