Calling Bullshit: The Art of Skepticism in a Data-Driven World @CT_Bergstrom and I wrote a general-audience book on how to spot and refute misinformation, especially the kind wrapped in data. Coming Aug. 4th, available here: penguinrandomhouse.com/books/563882/c…

Honored to be quoted alongside my advisor @jevinwest in the latest @Nature news article by @dcastelvecchi! It’s exciting to contribute to the conversation on @SakanaAILabs’s AI scientist and automating science in general. Check it out here: nature.com/articles/d4158… A full commentary is coming soon. Sharing one of the preliminary results related to popularity bias in cited references with AI generated papers disproportionately citing highly cited papers (~26000 citations per paper on average) in comparison to human written papers (~7500 citations) — an observation that was recently made by @jimmykoppel as well. #AcademicTwitter #Science @SciencePlusAI #ScienceOfAIMediatedScience

My latest: @SakanaAILabs's AI Scientist is the latest development in automating science — although so far it can only do research in machine learning itself nature.com/articles/d4158…

🧵@jevinwest and I recently wrote a commentary: "Search engines post-#ChatGPT: How generative artificial intelligence could make search less reliable." We discuss 6 critical issues as search engines transition from "helping" you find the answer to "answering" your question.

Ironic that Ioannidis led a study on extremely productive authors, which "has become worryingly common across scientific fields." From my count he has published more than 150 papers in the last 2 years. That is about a paper every 5 days. biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

Silicon Valley hype oozes from this video (eg, ‘understanding of science’, ‘reasoning capabilities’, ‘reads 200k papers’) but the re-graphing tool is pretty nice. If it can do that consistently and reliably, worth trying out. youtu.be/sPiOP_CB54A?si… via @YouTube

Have large language models developed analogical reasoning skills? Maybe, but our simple experiments demonstrate otherwise: arxiv.org/abs/2308.16118

🧐Can language models generate new scientific ideas? Introducing contextualized literature-based discovery (C-LBD): 1. (L)LMs are given specific contexts/motivations + retrieved *inspirations* from papers💡 2. Goal is to generate text with novel hypotheses. New preprint: 🧵⬇️

Calling Bullshit@callin_bull·
Science published a hopelessly credulous news story entitled "Fake scientific papers are alarmingly common" about one of the worst preprints we've seen in years. This is some next-level bullshit.
