As an academic, the backlash to the new arXiv rules on academic AI slop is a real wake up call. (Insert slowpoke meme here)
Worried that PIs publishing too much stuff will be banned? Good, that was slop also in the before AI era.
This much complaint on what amounts to simple epistemic integrity is insane. Can’t be sure all your citations are correct?
Don’t publish. Can’t be sure that AI catchphrases are there? Don’t publish.
I understand that some people see AI as an equalizer against the disparities in funding and therefore workforce. And that’s okay. But if you’re publishing slop you’re undermining everyone who is putting real care in their craft. If you can’t guarantee standards you’re not ready to go from craftsman to industrial production.
The fact that gatekeeping by journals is bad doesn’t mean that there is no optimal nonzero level of gatekeeping.

asking people to read ai-generated text is offensive. this is not because ai text is intrinsically bad. rather, the author has not paid a cost to write the text himself. this cost is a credible signal he finds its communication important. so: not paying that cost is telling

@daforerog we've been building causalith.com/veritas/verdict exactly for that, it lets your easily check whether there are papers supporting or opposing a claim.
and gives you a general consensus whether the claim is valid or false

Hallucinated citations produced by generative artificial intelligence may constitute research misconduct when citations function as data in scholarly papers

@NC4HR i've specifically been working to solve the same issue, this side project of mine is supposed to help anyone quickly verify any claims with links to its origin in scientific papers.
use this causalith.com/veritas/verdict

#AI-generated fake citations are spreading through #MedicalResearch — and the problem is getting worse fast.
New research found 4,000+ fabricated references across 2,800+ biomedical papers. By early 2026, about 1 in 277 papers contained at least one fake citation.
English

@HAPPY889123 was facing exactly this problem, and that's why i've been working on a side project to easily verify and find sources to any claim.
I'm open to hearing feedback or suggestions to improve it.

Nature reports hallucinated citations highest in social sciences preprints site. More than 140,000 fake citations across four research repositories were identified in papers and preprints published in 2025 alone.
I personally identified many many such citations in my professional work. It is very important to know how to tell what is fake. The problem is rampant in social media such as X where a lot of bogus info appear and gets recycled. As a rule, I block all accounts that are suspicious on its face.

@kirawontmiss idk why but i automatically read that in my mind how speed would have said it😭😭

I just joined the @causalith waitlist. A reading instrument for scientific papers — it maps research by claims, not citations. causalith.com

@RickyDoggin it gets even more weirder when you look at some of the more recent cases

@DivyanshT91162 this is useful however i believe researchers personally want something that helps them with their research not just writing out what they have already consolidated

Researchers are still spending MONTHS writing systematic literature reviews manually.
Meanwhile AI already automated the entire workflow.
CitedEvidence is honestly wild.
You enter your research question…
and it handles almost everything required for an SLR.
Here’s what it automates 👇
• Eligibility Criteria generation
• Search string creation
• Paper filtering & deduplication
• AI Title + Abstract screening
• Full-text screening
• Data extraction from papers
• One-click cited manuscript drafting
• PRISMA 2020 flow diagram generation
Then export everything instantly as:
- Word
- PDF
- LaTeX
This is the kind of AI tool that makes you realize academic research is about to change completely.

@vibeonX69 please prefer one with nvidia graphics card if going of AI/ML, but remember you'll lose a lot of battery life.
choose better batter and ram for other choices

@intheworldofai would love to see it one day become a full fledged OS

Hermes Agent is evolving FAST. In just the past week, Nous Research added:
- A full WebUI/Desktop App
- Background Computer Use on macOS
- Multi-agent orchestration
- Hermes Kanban upgrades
- Lightpanda browser backend support
- Qwen3.6-Plus FREE in Nous Portal
- Better autonomous workflows
- Persistent long-term memory systems
Hermes is starting to feel less like an AI tool and more like a true open-source Agentic AI Operating System. Full breakdown/demo:

@justbyte_ have tried all of them, but have only been able to help me on the surface level.
I've started to build something of my own to help me with research
English

@hrswatigupta true, but i feel like the more in depth your work is the harder it becomes for AIs to actually be that helpful.
they're only useful for surface level jobs

2. SOFTWARE CATEGORIES ARE GETTING COMPRESSED
One AI interface now overlaps with:
• Grammarly
• Notion AI
• Jasper
• Copy. ai
• research tools
• coding assistants
• presentation apps
• summarizers
• workflow tools
Instead of 15 SaaS subscriptions…
People increasingly use ONE AI layer.
That’s the disruption.
English

🚨 OPENAI IS QUIETLY REPLACING SOFTWARE TOOLS ONE CATEGORY AT A TIME.
First it was writing tools.
Then coding tools.
Then research tools.
Now entire workflows are disappearing.
People still think ChatGPT is “just a chatbot.”
That’s the mistake.
OpenAI is building an AI operating layer that sits on top of:
• browsers
• spreadsheets
• IDEs
• meetings
• documents
• search
• workflows
• entire SaaS products
And most people haven’t realized what’s happening yet.
Here’s the bigger picture:

@DilumSanjaya Damn!, UI and models both looks amazing. i feel like if you keep adding community suggested features it could become real big!
