UC Berkeley: How AI is transforming research: More papers, less quality, and a strained review system. “Even as AI tools help researchers write more papers faster, many of these studies are of marginal scientific merit. The resulting flood of polished but potentially superficial work is making it harder for reviewers, funders, and policymakers to separate worthy papers from unimportant and […]
