Your annual #medlibs Halloween reminder that "Chocolate"[Mesh] has only been in use since 2017. (OK, to be fair previous indexing is "Cacao"[Mesh] 1963-2016, but STILL.)
Also, "Spirit Possession"[Mesh] is a thing, with only 28 results in PubMed, "Spirit Possession"[tiab] gets 144 results.

"Across all 6,510 evaluations, ChatGPT never once mentioned that an article had been retracted, corrected, or had any ethical issues. It did not seem to connect the retraction notice, often present in the article’s title or on the publisher’s page, with the content it was asked to assess."
"Relying on LLMs for literature summaries without independent verification could lead to the unknowing citation and perpetuation of false information."

This woman is in a nursing program & the entire textbook for her anatomy class is wrong because it was written by a professor who used chatgpt to generate the images & possibly the text. She complained to the prof, then the university— they’ve done NOTHING about it.

We have decided to ban the use of GenAI for research, writing & creative work at our organization.

In fact, we make people sign an agreement saying that their research, analysis, writing, and creative work are *theirs* and not done by GenAI.

Ended up spending the rest of my day trying to figure this out - when using the combine query option to combine sets, #Scopus gives dramatically less results compared to when you just type it out as one long string yourself. Will probably send them an e-mail today! #medlibs

"Goodbye wasted reading time. Hello relevance." is one way Elsevier is marketing ScienceDirect AI.

I dunno about anyone else, but I find the idea that the time spent reading scholarly literature is a waste depressing, dismissive, and infuriating.

Library of Congress staff just showed what resistance looks like. After Trump abruptly fired Dr. Carla Hayden, the respected Librarian of Congress, he tried to install Todd Blanche, his former personal lawyer and current Deputy Attorney General, as acting librarian. Staff weren’t having it.
