The reactions of many researchers on finally being held responsible for having read the very paper they submitted are... something.

@DellAnnaLuca Counterpoints: Not obv the punishment fits the crime, and if it's too high, it's bad for scientific progress.

@EconTraina @DellAnnaLuca Fair enough. They should be given an option. A 1 year ban or $10000 in compensation paid to the person(s) who did the job the author(s) should have done to ensure they weren't publishing science fiction as a research paper.

@LastFraction0 @EconTraina @DellAnnaLuca Nah. They should have to take the ban. Having a wealthy sponsor for your research shouldn’t exempt you from basic shit like “knowing what’s in your own paper”

@fabiolean @EconTraina @DellAnnaLuca It was facetious. Meant to highlight that identifying hallucinatory elements and compiling incontrovertible evidence involves several people putting in unpaid hours, and, costly access to paywalled databases because AI will generate fictive citations attributed to real papers.
