In reply to the discussion: Scientific reports in the age of AI - This actually got published at Nature.com [View all]lapfog_1
(31,507 posts)The entire internet is slop. For that matter, most of published scientific literature is slop ( much of it plagiarized ). Quite a bit of entertainment is as well ( especially music ).
AI is just another tool. Use it, don't use it. That is up to you.
So... no... I will use it when I want ( as long as I attribute the source, which I did ).
I thought it was appropriate to have one AI fact check another ( unattributed ) "AI" ( which might have been fake to make all of AI look like it can't tell bullshit from non-bullshit ).
Every time someone has posted "how stupid is AI" example, I check the query by asking another AI to solve for the same prompt. So far, the AIs I use have checked out just fine. Of course it is good to check the results yourself.
And you have to ask yourself... if AI was so bad at everything ( slop as you call it ) why have so many companies embraced using it?.. I would think they would all start losing customers and go out of business.
