This is btw a pretty good example of what STS calls a socio-technical assemblage: for something like this to happen, impact factor, academic precariousness, the horrors of the academic publishing industry, and a new technology (AI) interact with each other in the worst ways
Do not cite an academic paper unless you’ve read it
AI Is Inventing Academic Papers That Don't Exist -- And They're Being Cited in Real Journals
Academic articles from authors using large language model are creating an ecosystem of fake research that threatens human knowledge itself.

Today is World AIDS day and tmw I‘m teaching on the HIV/AIDS Crisis again. A shocking amount of students have zero knowledge of its devastating history. Given conservative backlash I doubt curricula will change soon & vital research has already been defunded by the Trump admin. Fight the forgetting.
