An analysis of scientific papers reveals a new threat. LLMs can rewrite studies using open data, creating redundant papers that pass plagiarism detection. This AI-driven approach risks flooding journals with low-quality, synthetic research. #AcademicSky

Journals infiltrated with ‘copycat’ papers that can be written by AI
Tools such as ChatGPT can be used to generate almost-identical research papers that pass standard plagiarism checks. Hundreds are thought to have been published.

Here is the estimate of the annual number of HIV/AIDS deaths prevented thanks to access to antiretroviral therapy provided by programs like PEPFAR, whose funding Presidents Trump/Musk abruptly froze. via @dadakim.bsky.social @goodauth.bsky.social: goodauthority.org/news/pepfar-...
graph showing the annual number of deaths due to HIV/AIDS from 1990 to 2022, and the number of deaths averted due to antiretrovial therapy. The number of deaths due to HIV/AIDS increased steadily from 1990 to 2003 (reaching 2 million at its peak), then dropped steadily to 500k in 2022. By 2022, the number of averted deaths is 1.5 million annually. Source is Our World in Data and the joint UN programme on HIV/AAIDS 2023.
