I can only stay mad at my students for so long for stealing their classmates' work and running it through LLM-based auto-thesaurus-ers, when this is the kind of shit that is happening at the largest, most prestigious journals in the entire academy. I just… This shit is so deeply, darkly systemic. https://www.wsj.com/science/academic-studies-research-paper-mills-journals-publishing-f5a3d4bc?st=sgc2yq1xhe54ij4&reflink=desktopwebshare_permalink

@Wolven I really like counterfeit consciousness. I'm going to start using that one.

@Wolven @daedalus Actually I think “counterfeit consciousness” is a perfectly appropriate analogy for the current state of AI.

@Wolven Yep. A cynical production line of certificates and publication metrics.The University as an institution can no longer be taken too seriously while it is also not worth the resources it consumes.Perhaps naive of me, but I wonder what connections there might be between “defund the police” and ideas along the lines of “reboot education/university”, the main one in my mind being that both institutions are overloaded in the problems they’re targeted at and so bloated+ineffective.

@Wolven My ex-wife had to deal with a nasty plagiarism case. Not her university students; a faculty member coming up for tenure submitted several articles that had been plagiarized. But if a peer reviewer missed 'gooey stream', they suck goo.

@Wolven time to call out the problem at all levels, not change the message for students about doing their own work.

@Wolven Quite an amazing recipe for supercharging model collapse, to boot.

@Wolven if enough papers for refused at the beginning, development in that sector might had been prevented at the beginning. Peer review wasn't working, now probably is dead...

@Wolven @danielaKay From now on, I'll always say "counterfeit consciousness" instead of "artificial intelligence". 😀 #ai

@Wolven It bears underlining that this does not result in ill-gotten career advancement for the perpetrators, but that it causes permanent damage to the careers of their competitors, whose honesty condemn them to comparatively underperform. The ill-gotten gains may be stripped away from the perpetrators, but the damage to other people can never be undone.

@Wolven The fact that AI is degrading every facet of society is just sad.

@Wolven @nyrath This doesn't even feel like a LLM-based thesaurus, this feels like a dictionary-based replacement thing."Counterfeit consciousness" is gold though.
