@docpop Also, isn't this rather a high school level expectation?

@docpop Funny how AI-related policy changes are revealing deeper problems that existed before AI was an issue.
Like, Dietterich's text would make perfect sense even in a world where AI never existed. And I wouldn't want to imagine the reaction if blue-check-guy here was a student, asking that question to a teacher/professor in, say, the context of a class on how to properly structure academic writing.
This isn't an "AI" thing, it's a "some people don't belong in science and never did" thing.
@csilverman @docpop It's almost like broken incentives lead to unintended consequences...

@docpop I made the mistake of briefly looking at his X posts.
I'm... I'm just going to say I will not comment on it. My god, no.

Also, what he thinks publication credit is for.
or analysis. Or reading. Or brains.

@docpop @FediThing I'm an xcancel fan, so I figured I'd share the link here:

This Miller character, if he's real, is beyond help. Farther down, he basically says that "AI-hallucinated inaccuracies are better than human inaccuracies because the AI inaccuracies are going to be so obviously wrong that no one would take them seriously."
I think I'm starting to see why he's so up in arms about the prospect of his scientific work, as it were, being held to higher standards.

@docpop well physics papers can have like 50 authors, there is no expectation for all of them to read all of the sources, please
I don't always read sources added by my peers if I don't need to.
I'm in no way pro-"AI", however you're misrepresenting the point raised...

@docpop @EthicalProfessor
They're not egen demanding thauch. Thye just require that authors check the citations are to actual papers, mot just imagined plausible-looking lists. -

@docpop from his profile, Miller has a PhD from U. Chicago, a JD from Stanford, and is a professor at Smith College.
I think this reflects badly on every one of those.He and his defenders are basically saying "everyone does it, and you're naive to complain." If it's true that everyone does it, that reflects badly on modern academia as a whole.

@docpop to add, broken trust from your colleagues has been a problem before AI too, here's a particularly popular story https://laskowskilab.faculty.ucdavis.edu/2020/01/29/retractions/
