Has anyone else here started to see really suspicious Google Scholar accounts? This guy has a dozen single-author 2023 articles about chatGPT.
Same with this guy, who seems to be a faculty member with plenty of serious research before a dozen articles about ChatGPT in 2023.
@samgoree i have seen those sorts of citation curves from legit researchers before, usually PhD students nearing graduation who hit it big with one or two high-profile articles all of a sudden. kinda unusual tho
@maxkreminski these weird me out because they seem to be mid-career people who don't publish suddenly posting dozens of PDFs on SSRN or researchgate specifically about ChatGPT that immediately get dozens of citations 🤔
@samgoree lol yeah ok, that’s kinda sus
@samgoree well you know what they say, if you choose the right topic the articles just write themselves
