AI-Generated Language Is Beginning to Pollute Scientific Literature
Researchers from France and Russia have published a study indicating that the use of AI-driven probabilistic text generators such as GPT-3 are introducing ‘tortured language’, citations of non-existent literature and ad hoc, uncredited image reuse into previously respectable channels for the publication of new scientific literature.
we estimate Microprocessors and Microsystems accepted around 500 questionable articles: 389 papers with short duration of editorial assessment in volumes 80–83, plus additional papers not yet included in a volume. As of June 25, 2021 there were 225 such articles queued ‘in press’ which are ‘accepted, peer reviewed articles that are not yet assigned to volumes/issues, but are citable using DOI.’
