Comment on A weird phrase is plaguing scientific papers – and we traced it back to a glitch in AI training data
wewbull@feddit.uk 2 weeks agoIt’s not that the entire papers were being invented from nothing by Chatgpt.
Yes it is. The papers are the product of an LLM. Even if the user only thought it was translating, the translation hasn’t been reviewed and has errors. The causal link between what goes in to an LLM and what comes out is not certain, so if nobody is checking the output it could just be a technical sounding lorem ipsum generator.

That’s an accurate name for the new toy, but not as fancy as “ai”, i guess. Because we know that anything that comes out is gibberish made up to look like something intelligent.
