Yesterday I came across a paper, “Minimum Viable Scale: Extinction and Escape under Increasing Returns,” by Javier Milei (@JMilei) and Demian Reidel (@dreidel1):

I downloaded it because it sits close to something I am working on (and I am actually sympathetic toward the point the authors are trying to make).
As I read, I had the clear sense that a large language model had produced the text: the formatting, the style, the kind of assumptions, the way the derivations were laid out, the papers cited.
So I took the abstract and four paragraphs at random and ran them through Pangram. In all five cases, it returned a 100% probability of AI generation.
Now, I don’t mind economists using LLMs in their research. I do it all the time, for many purposes. Nor do I mind economists whose first language is not English using them to polish their prose. I do that too, and I have been open about it (this very same post has been tested for grammatical accuracy).
But there is a line between “I use LLMs to help with my research” and “I asked an LLM to write a paper and put my name on it.”
I may be wrong, of course, and I will gladly correct this assessment.
“Apertura comercial inteligente”
Si re inteligente, con niveles de productividad por el piso, una estructura impositiva de mierda, logistica africana, costo de financiamiento por las nubes (y ni hablar de los sueldos en dolares mas altos de latam)
Tan inteligente que están fundiendo medio aparato productivo.
Perdon muchacho pero tengo los huevos llenos de escuchar tantas pelotudeces tanto tiempo seguido
