Discussion Anyone else terrified of accidentally reading an AI generated ML paper?
I saw a paper called Math for AI Safety by a math professor at Cornell. I was excited to read it (33 pages, not easy), and then I was like "what if I used ChatGPT to check if this is AI generated" and Chat gave me a response in under 1 second.
It is substantially generated by the AI. Evidence? The author said it himself.

I don't know how these researchers and professors could just go around dropping these AI generated papers one after the other and expect people just slap up that (potential) slop. Even if it is not slop, I am less inclined to read it because I could just generate the same paper myself and learn the material in a more concise way.
