I haven't had to report malfeasance like that, but if that happened to me, I would be livid. I'd start by contacting the program officer; I'd also contact the division director above them and the NSF Office of Inspector General. I mean, that level of laziness can't just have affected one review! And, for good measure, I'd send a tip to 404media, as they have covered this sort of thing. That might well go nowhere, but it can't hurt to be in their contact list.

I need an early-2000's style web video where a cutout of that Musk picture moves up and down to a sproingy-sproingy sound.

Scopus is just a citation database. So, yeah, about as "AI" as Excel.

I researched cool topics using ChatGPT, Claude, Google

That's not what research means, you embossed carbuncle.

I linked NotebookLM to the Wikipedia entry of each topic and generated the podcast audio

It's fucking James Somerton with extra steps!

I tried it with a bunch of stuff already and shared with friends.

I hope your friends find a better friend.

Found while poking around today: the Wikipedia club for cleaning up after AI.

Example: the article Leninist historiography was entirely written by AI and previously included a list of completely fake sources in Russian and Hungarian at the bottom of the page.

"Space opera's the same, but they call it le space opera."

It's been a long time since I lived in France, so my sense of what is idiomatic has no doubt grown rusty, but "Théâtre D'opéra" doesn't sound right. The word "Théâtre" doesn't belong in a reference to the place where operas are performed. It's "L'opéra Garnier" and "L'opéra Bastille" in Paris and "L'opéra Nouvel" in Lyon, for example. I'd read "théâtre d'opéra" as more like "operatic theatre" in the sense of a genre (contrasted with, e.g., spoken-word theatre). I could be completely wrong here, but the title feels like a naive machine translation.

Masto reply guy: "is it not better to train LLM on proper academic papers rather than random rants on Twitter and Reddit?"

well, actually, it's better to train them not at all, and if anyone advocates their use, to kick them in the nads repeatedly

The only use I've had for writing cursive in 30 years has been to copy out an anti-cheating pledge on a standardized test, because some fucker thought cursive magically makes a pledge 300% more honest.

I don't know of one that has definitively said that they won't.

Fuck it, we're going to have to found a publisher.

Surprisingly, not a sexbot!

Well, not with that attitude
