    “was not detected by the authors…”… BULLSHIT.

    The author was chatGPT. At least of that phrase. the claimed-author… used chatGPT. There’s zero justifiable excuse for the author to be totally unaware. they “wrote” it, after all.

      No shit it’s bullshit. It’s a meme about AI text in a research paper that makes fun of Elsevier by having ChatGPT write an apology template for Elsevier.

      The scary part is the editors, copyeditors and the reviewers not catching this. If they’re not catching casual LLM wording, how are they to be counted on to make sure the science behind the paper is good and valid?

        They do not include the peer reviewers in their list of people who missed it. Which means that either the peer reviewers did pick it up and for some reason it didn’t get addressed (unlikely) or this was a straight up pay-to-play and whoever runs that particular bit of the racket for Elsevier fucked up.

        so they just hired a shadow writer. And the shadow writer used chat GPT.

        because that makes the excuse valid, right?

      It wasn’t the authors. Well, not the authors of the paper. It was the author of the publisher’s introduction to the paper.

        The publishers do not write any part of the paper.

    I’m beginning to understand that the trick to getting away with using AI when you’re not supposed to is simply proofreading.

    I don’t condone it whatsoever, I’m just postulating on how many lawyers for example we don’t read about that just double-checked the citations it spat out before submitting and pruned the shit.

      I don’t condone proofreading either. Proofreading is basically work and should be outsourced to another AI, saving you the trouble.

    Man all this needs is:

    “As an AI model it would be wrong for me to make statements on the use of AI models, and I can not help you with this apology, but you could try a statement like:”

    And you will know how much Elsevier actually cares about this.
