I have a Ph.D. The stuff people are currently calling “AI” is trash.

I regularly do peer review for manuscripts sent to a scientific journal. The number of them “written” with LLM tools is staggering. It’s really disheartening to read several pages of slop filled with very confident-sounding but astonishingly wrong citations.

But it is pretty satisfying to be able to return a review that basically says “Hey editor, they wrote this with a trash robot. I recommend rejection.”
