i don't think it's emphasized enough that AI isn't just making up bogus citations with nonexistent books and articles, but increasingly actual articles and other sources are completely AI generated too. so a reference to a source might be "real," but the source itself is complete AI slop bullshit

the actual danger of it all should be apparent, especially in any field related to health science research
and of course these fake papers are then used to further train AI, causing factually wrong information to spread even more
It's a shit ouroboros, Randy!
garbage in, garbage out and back in again
the movie idiocracy was a prophecy that we were too arrogant to take seriously.
now go away, I'm baitin
we would be lucky to have a president as down to earth as camacho
Yep. I don't care if a president is smart. I care if they listen to the experts. I don't want one who thinks they know everything, because no one can.
When is that movie set again? I want to mark my calender for the day the US finally gets a compitent president.
Movie was set in 2505... We're speed-running it. We should get our first pro-wrestler president in our lifetime.
Trump technically is one. We are all ready there.
Trump is literally a WWE Hall of Famer.
Doesn't Trump being hit by a Stone Cold Stunner count?
Wouldn't it be batein?
It's important we get this right
for the new national anthem
It's new quantities, but an old mechanism, though. Humans were making up shit for all of history of talking.
In olden days it was resolved by trust and closed communities (hence various mystery cults in Antiquity, or freemasons in relatively recent times, or academia when it was a bit more protected).
Still doable and not a loss - after all, you are ultimately only talking to people anyway. One can build all the same systems on a F2F basis.
The scale is a significant part of the problem though, which can't just be hand waved away.
That part of the problem makes rules of the game more similar to how they were before the Internet. It's almost a return to normalcy.
i'm not understanding what you're saying. "Still doable and not a loss"??
sounds like something AI would say
At a cwetain point, quantity has a quality of its own.
