@fake_journals Yes

Automatic retraction, right?

[Lukas Koch @curiouslukas]

@GoogleDE why are you censoring my review?

This place in #pirna is not safe. People should know.

@LRAinPirna @GruenePirna maybe you can figure out what's going on on this campsite, which is under admistration of the Stadtwerke (municipal utilities) of Pirna.

Thank you @ypjang for your very colorful presentation at the International Congress on Natural Products Research #ICNPR in #Krakow. Also loved the informative #AI generated imagery!

@PrasadShastri @Ella_Maru Problem is, the point of science is not being captivating.

The image is supposed to illustrate the mechanism of a medical treatment but does not convey anything. Whole paper is BS anyways.

[Lukas Koch @curiouslukas]

@ValerioCapraro I would agree that the text is very likely AI-generated. But we also have to consider that ChatGPT will also change language itself, especially among non-native speakers. Words like "intricate", "delve", will become more common because people get used to reading ChatGPT output.

@MorganPfiffner I'm missing which solvent they used for the water 🙈

I found another AI-generated garbage diagram in a scientific journal.

It’s entirely gibberish and features anatomically incorrect limbs with too many bones.

Dieses Schlagloch in der Bernburger Str. Richtung Geiststr. ist tiefer als auf dem Foto zu erkennen und eine echte Gefahr für Radfahrende!

@fake_journals @RetractionWatch Not surprised.

@MDPIOpenAccess general policy is to tolerate plagiarism. It doesn't matter what they say in press releases.

There was no action on this case reported April 16:

@MDPIOpenAccess @antibioticsmdpi
This paper is full of plagiarism and mistakes.

I emailed the editor and editorial office on April 13, no response. This is outrageous.

Please retract it immediately.

Will fraud and corruption erode confidence in cancer research?

@FarleyKatz1 @MicrobiomDigest I guess we only see the bad fakes and the majority remains unspotted. Some people manipulate smarter than others.
Also, if they were talented why wouldn't they do science instead?

@larsjuhljensen @MicrobiomDigest @NatureNeuro @Stanford Do universities in the US get premiums for research fraud?

'Cause I still can't see how this will pay off long-term. They're undermining their reputation and credibility.

[Lukas Koch @curiouslukas]

@Thatsregrettab1 Do you think the University of Missouri @Mizzou should be notified about this case?

[Lukas Koch @curiouslukas]

@Roche put the C in nucleotide 🧐

[Lukas Koch @curiouslukas]

@_SachinGaur @BWJones No, those are really mistakes. In a personal communication Roche told me they're working on taking the site down because of too many mistakes which they can't fix quickly.

I've documented many under #RocheFix but there are even more.
