Gen AI and academic papers - fake papers, fake sections of papers, trashed academic reputations.

## Generative AI Academic papers

It happened again. I get notified by a Scholar Alert about a new paper that is very on topic for a paper Im writing:
Mediating Knowledge: Power in the Digital Era
http://www.ijapas.ir/index.php/ijapas/article/view/593
Its by Iranian university academics. The journal is not known to me. The language seems 'not right'. I enter various paragraphs into Quillbot detector. Most come back as 100% genAI.
I go searching for the lead author: Mohadeseh Vahidimehr.
He has 3 papers on ResearchGate but has no profile.
1. Decoding Power and Meaning in the Digital Age (full text) https://jisem-journal.com/index.php/journal/article/view/7310
2. Decoding Power and Meaning in the Digital Age (request full text only) - yes, the same paper, different journal, different pubdate.
3. Microphysics of Power and Phenomenology of Knowledge-Constructing Tools in the Digital Age(full text) ) https://journals.kmanpub.com/index.php/aitechbesosci/article/view/2456/4152

I start looking at paper 3, which came up in my initial (Brave) search. It has a very close similarity to the paper Ive just been notified about. It differs later in the paper but the Intro and method sections are almost identical.

The first 2 papers have an identical title, one is full text, one is only abstract. They both come up as human written. They bear a very close resemblance to paper 3 (and to each other for abstract content)

After that my Quillbot text entry is barred by requiring me to log in so I cannot test further (I already used VPN and Tor to bypass). I will test the full text in another AI detection tool. But both these papers are *identical*.

The lead author is a PhD student. I came across this before, with suspicious Egyptian university co authored papers where the lead author was a PhD student. I emailed him. I never got a reply.

>> I am NOT making any criticism of either the institutions, or even the named academics, who may not even know this is happening.

I am wondering how many other publishing academics are coming across this problem. When you carry out desktop research on a topic, you are looking at multiple papers at once. You are looking at titles, abstracts and scope of paper. Maybe you are not looking for papers that are not real. Maybe its escaping your attention and you are citing papers that have never been checked by human academic PR. My decision is never cite any paper that looks questionable. In this case I wont cite the paper that comes up as human written because I have doubt. I have no reason to trust these academics. Their reputation is therefore trashed.

I know that academics like @benpatrickwill have written about the tsunami of fake papers and fake citations.

This problem is 100% the fault of chatbots being released into the wild with direct intention of breaking things. In this case, the academic publishing model. Well, they succeeded.

Here are my experiments with #AI detectors—tools that are supposedly able to spot content written by #ChatGPT and other #LLMs. Are they a fraud? Useful in the aggregate? And what does it all mean for the idea of human authorship?

TITLE: Criteria for an AI to write psychotherapy chart notes (or medical chart notes)

Note: Reposting to get it out to a few additional groups.

I am informed that a new product called #Mentalyc has entered the market. It's mission is to write psychotherapy notes for clinicians AND to gather a non-identifiable dataset for research into clinical best practices.

I have no firm opinion yet on Mentalyc, but it's expensive ($39-$69 per month per clinician) and I'd personally need to know a lot more about what's in that dataset and who is benefiting from it.

**So I'm asking the community for thoughts on what acceptable ethical and practical criteria would be for an AI to write psychotherapy notes or medical notes.**

Here are MY thoughts so far:

1) REQUIRED: The AI either:
1a) Invents NOTHING and takes 100% of the information in the note from the clinician, or

1b) Prompts the clinician for additional symptoms often present in the condition before writing the note, or

1c) Presents a very clear information page before writing that lets the clinician approve, delete, or modify anything the AI got creative with and was not told explicitly to include. (So, for example, in an experiment with Bard a clinician found that Bard added sleep problems as an invented symptom to a SOAP note for a person with depression and anxiety. This is a non-bizarre symptom addition that makes lots of sense, is very likely, but would have to be approved as valid for the person in question.)

2) OPTIONAL: The AI is on MY computer and NOT reporting anything back to the Internet. This will not be on everyone's list, but I've seen too many #BAA subcontractors playing loose with the definition of #HIPAA (medical privacy) and there is more money to be made in data sales than clinician subscriptions to an AI.

3) OPTIONAL: Inexpensive (There are several free AI tools emerging.)

4) OPTIONAL: Open Source

5) Inputting data to the AI to write the note is less work than just writing the note personally. (Maybe a complex tablet-based clickable form? But then, a pretty high percentage of a note can be in a clickable form format anyway.)

6) The AI does NOT record the entire session and then write a note based upon what was said. (It might accept dictation of note directions sort of like doctors dictate notes to transcribers today.)

I think I may be envisioning a checkbox and drop-down menu form along with a space for a clinician to write a few keywords and phrases, then the AI (on my laptop) takes this and writes a note -- possibly just a paragraph to go along with the already existing form in the official note. I think. It's early days in my thinking.
