Stop submitting AI slop to journals and preprint servers

This is anti-social behavior. It is making life harder for everyone involved except for the person submitting the slop

Figure 1 from a paper published in Nature (linked in post). The figure purports to be an infographic depiction of the "Overall working of the framework" for 'explainably' diagnosing autism spectrum disorder. The infographic is plainly nonsense, containing many spelling errors, nonsense words, meaningless images and graphs. Clearly created using generative AI and (crucially) NEVER CHECKED AT ANY STEP OF THE WRITING OR PUBLICATION PROCESS.

Hey @nature.com, have you got an explanation for how the hell THIS happened? & especially why you accepted a paper with such a bizarre piece of genAI slop in it?!
& more to the point, why we should take you seriously at all going forward?

Erst Ablehnung, dann Akzeptanz: Wie Menschen auf neue Regeln reagieren Erkenntnis des gesellschaftlichen Nutzens der gesetzten Maßnahmen steigert Zustimmung

Ob Rauchverbot, Tempolimit oder Zuckersteuer – viele Menschen sind erstmal dagegen. Eine neue Studie unter Leitung der #univie @robertboehm.bsky.social & @tum.de zeigt: Der größte Widerstand gegen systemische Eingriffe entsteht vor der Einführung. Nach ihrer Umsetzung sinkt die Ablehnung deutlich. ⤵️

The conference is free of charge and a wonderful opportunity to catch up with what's new in Political Psychology - I hope to see many familiar and new faces in lovely Vienna (this time flood-free, knock on wood)

Can Germany rein in its academic bullying problem? Researchers and administrators are exploring ways to restructure a rigid hierarchy that can breed power abuses.

“There is far too much power in the hands of professors in the German system,” says @leising.bsky.social.

My latest @nature.com story digs into efforts to tackle the entrenched structural heirarchy that enables academic bullies.

Neulich ein KHK einer Mordkommission(nicht Berlin), nachdem ich über Femizide und Frauenhass gesprochen habe:
„Versteh nicht, was Sie da erzählen.Wenn meine Frau mich verlässt,dann bring ich sie doch nicht um, weil sie eine Frau ist, sondern weil sie mich verlässt.Ich mag halt Frauen.“
Wo anfangen?

SHE SAID YES!!!!! 💖🔥✨
