I just did some primary-school level investigative work using Google Scholar to find out whether the use of generative #AI is genuinely a widespread issue in #AcademicPublishing and, within five minutes, I have cause for despair...

@ElenLeFoll how does this get through peer review
@sonjdol @ElenLeFoll and who is the peer, the AI model?
Rant incoming, you have been warned.
This makes me unreasonably angry for a number of reasons, and is one of the motivating factors as to why I want to start my own Journal.
This shit is unacceptable, full stop, and frankly these authors should be outright banned from publishing in (at least the current) journal again IMO, and should be put under supervision by their universities or an independent review board. Additionally, the peer reviewers should be made public, and the journals should face severe backlash.
If these leeches (the journals in this case) are going to continue profiteering off the free labor of peer reviewers and researchers, it wouldn't kill their editors to do a bloody modicum of quality control on the garbage they allow to take up their apparently "oh so valuable" server space.
If there are no repercussions for any of the parties involved, this won't improve.
Edit to add: I'm working on some reproducible research templates (and libraries in the future) that makes integrating writing, code, figures, etc much easier for academics, and it compiles to LaTeX (for journals) and HTML (for pre-prints if you want)
If anyone is interested in demoing it, please let me know and I'll upload it and attach a Github link. (Unfortunately, it can be extended to include chatgpt and I can't really prevent that, as the framework is built around Emacs, but still, for the honest ones among us, it may be useful).
