If AI slop is an insult to life itself, then this shit is an insult to knowledge. Any paper that actually uses “synthetic data” should be immediately retracted (and ideally destroyed altogether), but it’ll probably take years before the poison is purged from the scientific record.

Artificial intelligence is the destruction of knowledge for profit. It has no place in any scientific endeavor. (How you managed to maintain a calm, detached tone when talking about this shit, I will never know.)
