Comment on Researchers secretly experimented on Reddit users with AI-generated comments
restingboredface@sh.itjust.works 1 week agoThese researchers conducted research in a manner that was totally unethical and they deserve to be stripped of tenure and lose any research funding they have.
It already sounds like the university is preparing to just protect them and act like it’s no big deal, which is discouraging but I suppose not surprising.

I absolutely agree these “researchers” deserve to lose their tenure and lose their funding. In my mind they don’t even deserve to be called researchers anymore as they view their job as an extractive one. They hold no regard for the people they impacted and how that impacts the entire fields of research.
If the university does protect these people than I can only hope that no one signs up to participate in any future studies they try to conduct.
