Unlike the author having to reflect now, I did not share the article in question, in part because I have little regard for #AISlop and in part because I barely saw it.

The ChatGPT Study Everyone Shared Was Retracted

A widely cited study claiming ChatGPT improved student learning has now been retracted. This article explores what the controversy reveals about AI research, information literacy, peer review, and the growing pressure on schools to make decisions before evidence has fully matured.

@IncHulk
Very well, Inc Hulk -- if that IS your real name -- a retraction you shall have, and I assure you that it IS both real and sincere:

1) "You posted that Proton was pushing AI..."
Sir, if you are a man, madam, if you are not, a comment by @the_infamous higher in this thread is the only one I can find about Proton pushing Ai.
Since I didn't make that claim, I feel awkward retracting it, but you have politely asked for a retraction, and I freely give it.

2) "Tuta foolishly picked it up and reposted as negative advertising..."
I am no more responsible for the actions of Tuta than I am for the posts of @the_infamous. But a retraction you have asked for, and a retraction you now have. (Full disclosure: I am not associated in any way with Tuta, other than having once signed up for a Tuta account in an attempt to migrate away from Gmail, and also I follow Tuta on the Fediverse.)

3) "(to which I very object strongly, it is a trump-approach)."
I fully support your right to object however you want to anything done by Trump or any of its spellings or capitalizations. In fact, because I am myself a sufferer from Trump Derangement Syndrome, I reflexively object to anything he, they, his regime, his cabinet, his offspring, his wife, his agents or persons he has assigned have done, are now doing, or will do in the future.

4) "As far as I can tell, you fabricated and unfairly blamed Jen."
Yes, I DID fabricate "Jan," NOT, "TheJen."
I don't recall blaming either Jen or TheJen for anything.
But if I did, I retract anything I might have said or written about Jen or TheJen, and wish to express contrition for having done so.
As to "Jan," though it pains me to do so, I retract any statements that I made as me pretending to be Jan, and I apologize to you and to the fictitious character Jan, that I made up.

5) "Unless I have misunderstood, this is very unpleasant of you and needs to be reported, unless you post a retraction of course."
Since I am incapable of truly knowing what you understand or misunderstand, I will merely apologize for being unpleasant and strive to be less so in the future.
I hope you will find this retraction quenches your thirst to file a report, and that you will feel heard and in receipt of the respect that is your due.
May we now all, each in our own way, respect our purity of essence and conserve our precious bodily fluids.
Ramen.
Bong hits 4 Jesus.

A quotation from Adlai Stevenson

Man does not live by words alone, despite the fact that sometimes he has to eat them.

Stevenson, Adlai - Speech (1952-09-05), "Time for a Change --?" Colorado Volunteers for Stevenson Dinner, Denver, Colorado | WIST Quotations

Man does not live by words alone, despite the fact that sometimes he has to eat them. Playing off of the Biblical passages Luke 4:4 and Matthew 4:4, in turn from Deuteronomy 8:3.

Analysis of over 1,300 retracted medical studies using randomized controlled trials found that six people were responsible for 22% of retracted studies, and a further group of 18 were responsible for another 25% of retracted studies.

Because many of the studies took years to be retracted, their impact extends to data summaries and other studies that have relied on their findings.

How a tiny circle of repeat offenders poisoned 100s of gold-standard medical trials for over a decade

Randomized Controlled Trials (RCTs) are the gold standard of medical research as random assignment approach helps eliminate bias and yields the most reliable evidence on whether a treatment truly works. Since RCTs sit at the top of the evidence hierarchy, retractions can send ripple effects across the entire system. A fraudulent study with fabricated data or results can influence the credibility of systematic reviews and meta-analyses, and those distortions can quietly shape clinical practice guidelines that influence real-world medical care.

Initial questions about this #retraction risk calculator:

What about negative phrases in social media posts that are NOT actually about the linked article?

What about negative posts about a paper that don’t actually link to the paper? (Screenshots, “link in comment” posts, etc.)

#NLP #sentimentAnalysis #webScraping #bibliometrics #Altmetric #stats

🤨 TIL I'm a leader in (wait for it) "negative posts" about research?
— including my posts about MY research?!
— in league with Rob Sica? ...and ED YONG?!!

Fortunately this #Retraction Risk calculator considers more than just our (false negative?) posts!
