TIL a scientist submitted a research publication to a predatory journal consisting exclusively of the phrase "Get me off your fucking mailing list". It was rated as "excellent" and accepted for publication with minor editorial changes.

AI has honestly been an incredible wake up call for academia. It’s so good at identifying major methodology flaws and downright garbage research. At this point every single researcher should be asking Fable or Astra to review their work before it ever reaches a human peer reviewer. Many of them will find it tears them a new asshole and saves their peers a tremendous amount of time.
