I said it before and I’ll say it again: scientific journals have hardly any relevance any more, except for academic careers.
AI is just speeding up this evolution. We urgently need to rethink scientific communication!

@firefly AI is not the only problem. The fact those articles got published is merely a symptom of a far larger problem, mostly created by the combination of carreers depending on number of publications and for-profit scientific publishers. Even without AI many publications contribute nothing. I have seen people reinvent linear models as a “powerful new method”.
