Tons of scientific papers already contain AI-generated text (obviously). The real milestone will be the first AI-generated advertisement hidden inside one.

Really interesting observation about narrative, applicable also to science - I like the experiment at the end
I’m reading George Saunders “A swim in a pond in the rain”, which includes lessons from his writing course (he analyzes short stories from Russian masters like Chekhov and Turgenev). As always, I find everything relevant also to science (how to write or judge an article in this case) For example👇

The way to accelerate science is to SLOW it down.
Fewer papers please! We’re drowning in meaningless text.
One GREAT paper per lab per decade is more than enough.

Is that feedback or a condolence?

Like the genetic code, bitcoin, or national borders, our methods for evaluating science are a "frozen accident": things that were formed from historical circumstances rather than careful design, and that persist not because they are optimal, but because replacing them is extraordinarily difficult.

YES!! If you didn't try q.e.d yet - now is the time!
Sorry - been a busy day, but I have been meaning to write to you. It worked GREAT! I am extremely impressed and will absolutely suggest that we implement this in my group. The test paper I tried was a bit of an intended challenge because it was organic synthesis. qed was quite good a finding “gaps”.

In my hands, it does exactly that! It comes up with a very good summary of what can be improved and helps me review my own notes on articles I need/want to comment, including my own.
