      This almost makes me think they’re trying to fully automate their publishing process. So, no editor in that case.

      Editors are expensive.

        If they really want to do it, they can just run a local language model trained to proofread stuff like this. Would be way better

      This is what baffles me about these papers. Assuming the authors are actually real people, these AI-generated mistakes in publications should be pretty easy to catch and edit.

      It does make you wonder how many people are successfully putting AI-generated garbage out there if they’re careful enough to remove obviously AI-generated sentences.

        I definitely utilize AI to assist me in writing papers/essays, but never to just write the whole thing.

        Mainly use it for structuring or rewording sections to flow better or sound more professional, and always go back to proofread and ensure that any information stays correct.

        Basically, I provide any data/research and get a rough layout down, and then use AI to speed up the refining process.

        EDIT: I should note that I am not writing scientific papers using this method, and doing so is probably a bad idea.

            Yeah, same. I’m good at getting my info together and putting my main points down, but structuring everything in a way that flows well just isn’t my strong suit, and I struggle to sit there for long periods of time writing something I could just explain in a few short points, especially if there’s an expectation for a certain length.

            AI tools help me to get all that done whilst still keeping any core information my own.

        I’ve heard the word “delve” has suddenly become a lot more popular in some fields
