It has made them in literally every field imaginable and the stuff you can find publicly is the tip of the iceberg, especially when you consider humans just use AI and take credit for it. lol at "chess" being an example.

They didn't reject it because it was WRONG, they rejected it because the apelet didn't spend his late nights hunched over LaTeX with an empty fruit pile, and then go through some tribal peer review grooming ritual where Dr. Kratz interrogates him about RIGOR and the dangers of metaphor to ensure no heterodoxies slip through the cracks.

Not necessarily. "Can't verify the provenance" is just how they talk when something slips past the peer-vetting troglodyte net and might be real--but isn't sanctified by the priesthood. It doesn't even say that its talking about data provenance. It could be where the sentence structure came from. Since they can't verify it's ape prose, they are saying who knows if it came from this primate and not another one or some chimp-machine combination. Which obviously, who the hell cares, but thats how these people think. They want to ensure someone suffered to get their accolades like they did.

Again, how is this different from any other paper? If you are talking about the data part, then who cares? LOL at believing in social sciences "data" and "experiment design". It's all made up somewhere along the chain whether its by AI or a group of chimps. If the lab was invented, then congrats--hes now on equal footing with every think thank thats ever fabricated an anecdotal "case study" to retroengineer a conclusion. If it was simulated by an AI that's called modeling. If the experiment didn't happen at all, welcome to 90% of the entire discipline of "economics" fr.

Here's the full paper before it gets pulled down: https://arxiv.org/pdf/2412.17866

It's hard to think of a US corporate materials science lab with that many people, particularly one that's so diverse. Who's spending $250M/year+ on materials R&D? The project, if real, would have taken a lot of time and work and an unusual degree of cooperation from the "lab." The paper does not seem implausible, and if a fabrication it's superficially impressive, though I just skimmed it. The paper itself does not seem like it could have been written by an LLM. FWIW, the "AI" being used in the lab is described as a set of graph neural networks, which makes sense in the context.

The author is not listed in the MIT alumni directory, so he must have left very quickly after starting in 2023. His LinkedIn says he was there for 1 year and 10 months. Grad students are included in the directory after two terms. I don't know when he would have time to undertake this extensive a study. It reads like something that might actually have been undertaken by a consultant or internally. Perhaps his crime was at least partly plagiarism.

So he used graph theory to make some dumb production node diagram and dats too AI for these boomers because it involved python and tensor flow? What a joke they made it sound like he used an llm to ghostwrite the whole thing. Probably should have they wouldn’t have caught him. LLM would have generated passable data

He didn't actually use graph theory. He reported that his supposed materials lab did. I didn't see that he specifically reported that they used Tensorflow. It's on the way out anyway, but maybe it would be reasonable to say they used it a couple of years ago.

It's 100% fraud. The data was fabricated and the AI tool used in the study he describes never existed. He even tried to make a fake website with Corning to back up his fraud, but they stopped him.
