Unfortunately, it's not just AI that's faking plausible papers. Hopefully the overflow of AI slop into the scientific journal system will force a rethink on how to do a better job of only inducting the cream of real research into the pipeline. Who gets to decide what counts as the cream of real research? Hopefully human being smarter than me.

I’d take it a step further. Most people don’t drive by choice, but because of the zoning and regulations that create sprawling suburbs meaning almost no one can live without a car. Can’t get to work, can’t get groceries, can’t get the kids to day care without a car.

Edit: want to add the sprawl also makes efficient mass public transportation nearly impossible.
