I helped build a government AI system. DOGE fired me, rolled the AI out to the whole agency, and implied the AI can do my job and the jobs of the others they've fired. It can't. But, what DOGE accidentally revealed about themselves in the process is fascinating. 🧵

‘Paper mills’ are contaminating the world’s scholarly output with fake papers that hinder research. Lifesaving biomedical fields are especially hard hit.

I just reviewed two papers. One was almost certainly written with heavy assistance from genAI. The other was full of missing, misleading and incorrect references, many apparently planted. I suspected as much from the abstracts. I hate that I have to spend time policing science. #researchintegrity

This #AI image from an unknown source at an unknown time has been making the rounds and finally got to me. It is amusing because of how many ways it is wrong ... For me, it reminded me of challenges we faced working on references in recipes. Recipes are hard! aclanthology.org/2022.finding...
