Just as an aside on this... Please do double check with the journal's homepage for information on their policies. The Open Policy Finder is (I believe) based on the old SHERPA-ROMEO data, which were of rather mixed quality.

I'd agree and find myself in a similar place, but I really dont see the problem that mass market AI is trying to solve. I can see the benefits of something like AlphaFold, but Grok?
Currently, its main purpose seems to be for dunking on people on Twitter with whom you disagree.

Me too. I used to live near(ish) to Leuven as a teenager and always welcome the opportunity to return to Belgium.

I know at least one publisher (a large corporate) that has tried to do this, so I think that some publishers at least recognize the issue here.

The latter, obviously!

As a publisher that knows both of them, I am conflicted!

This isn't my logic, but rather that of Coalition S....

I would also note that APC caps are likely to cause all journals below the cap to raise their APCs to the cap. Meanwhile, nature is absolutely not going to drop to the cap because the US is but one market.
So overall, I anticipate this raising the cost of publishing should the US follow this path

Worth noting that Dr Bhattacharaya is an editor on the Journal of the Academy of Public Health which charges an APC of $2000 (but may also may receive financial support from Real Clear Foundation who, I believe, funded its creation).

And I am not for a second saying that Grok is an LLM that is well trained because I dont know what the hell it was trained on.
Which is *exactly* my problem with AI tech.

You can see some elements of this with Grok on Twitter (it pains me to say) where "Normies" are sometimes changing their position based on Grok prompts.
