#Scientists Asked #AI to Impersonate 112 Public Figures. What Happened Next Is a ‘Dire’ Warning

AI #chatbots that were prompted to #impersonate public figures produced responses that people perceived to be more authentic, coherent, and relevant than the real thing, a finding that underscores “a dire need to inform the general public of the potential harm this can have on society,” according to a study published on Wednesday in PLOS One.

Happy to share our new piece (w/ @MsPhelps) on #metadata completeness in @crossref and submission systems was published by #PLOSone. All data, code and peer review openly available. We'd be delighted to continue the conversation with publishers and submission system vendors:

👆🏾https://doi.org/10.1371/journal.pone.0345417.

If a journal asks me to do a peer-review for them, which I accept, then it makes a decision before the review deadline, without waiting for my review, and without letting me know that I do not need to do the review.. while I use my spare time to complete the peer-review by the deadline... then I am not going to do any more peer-review for that journal 🤷

(#PLoSOne in this case 🫤)

Disappointed in PLOS ONE. Why do they allow this statement, but fail to check if it is actually true?

I'm excited to share that our latest study, published in PLOS ONE, is now available!

In this research, we compare nonlinear regression models for analyzing transspinal evoked potential recruitment curves across different muscles. Our findings reveal muscle-dependent preferences and emphasize the reliability of specific models in parameters of physiological importance.

Wow, that only took 8 years: PLOS ONE to offer author proofs https://retractionwatch.com/2024/03/21/exclusive-plos-one-to-correct-1000-papers-add-author-proof-step/ (cc @deevybee)

Their explanation (screenshot) is corporate speak for: so many authors had to request corrections for absolutely trivial errors our typesetters introduced that we now realise it is a good idea to let authors see what we made of their work before we formally publish it.

Anyway, better late than never!

(Here's the 2016 blog that prompted the first RW coverage: http://ideophone.org/why-plos-one-needs-page-proofs/ ) #plosone

"Hérodote l'écrivait dans ses textes : les Scythes utilisaient autrefois la peau de leurs ennemis pour fabriquer des "trophées en cuir", tels que des étuis de carquois. Or, l'analyse d'anciens objets scythes semble aujourd'hui confirmer les légendes sur ces redoutables combattants des steppes de l'Antiquité."
L'étude, publiée dans PLOS One le 13, a été menée à partir d'objets retrouvés dans le sud de l'Ukraine.

I just browsed through the category #LibraryScience in @PLOS #PlosOne.

https://journals.plos.org/plosone/browse/library_science

It is basically useless, because it seems to simply list all articles where the keyword #catalogs is being used. I would classify only very few of the articles in this category as library-related.

I mean... no matter how much I support research on bottlenose dolphins in Reunion (https://doi.org/10.1371/journal.pone.0179780
) - that's not library science.
