   I mean call me the asshole but it’s coming up on 2 years since I left Northwestern and people I entrusted with finishing a small research project still haven’t submitted the paper. The last email was on October 30th where the lead author was going to “review the author guidelines” of the journal we’ve selected. So I sent a cunty email this morning saying I was going to take over and submit it. This is despite my best efforts to keep my boundaries since, you know, I don’t fucking work there any more. But the project was funded by a charity organization and we have a responsibility to finish the work. The good news is now AI will likely be involved in the publication process 🙄

     @tayfonay Push back. That makes it plagiarism and invalidates results.

     @tayfonay "AI" is putting cut&paste snippets plagiarizing from countless works into the output. If "editing" involves adding such output as part of the paper...

     @dalias On who? I was referring to Elsevier now using AI in the editing process.

     @tayfonay Yeah, in that case the ethics violation is on the editors.

     @dalias Oh I agree with you but they’re doing it without author knowledge after the submission.
