Abstract: Sadiq Jaffer sent along this piece in The Conversation last week about the remarkable number of academic papers that are now AI generated. The numbers of these papers are probably underestimated: What caught my eye in this article is their development of the Problematic Paper Screener, which the good folks at Retraction Watch developed. It works with high precision to detect papers issued by grammar-based generators.
