For today's WTF moment - a team from an established university (North Carolina at Chapel Hill) developed software that promises to automatically generate "conference-ready" academic papers from the user "chatting an idea" to OpenClaw:

Apparently this is also the top trending repo on Github now, with over 400 forks already. What a time to be alive 😱 ...

GitHub - aiming-lab/AutoResearchClaw: Fully autonomous & self-evolving research from idea to paper. Chat an Idea. Get a Paper. 🦞

@bitsgalore Now you tell me after I submitted my fully incoherent iPres paper yesterday! I wonder if conferences will have to explicitly ban this type of content or detect it at submission time?

@Thorsted You could have saved yourself some time there! But seriously, yes I think this should definitely be banned, but not sure how easy it is to detect this type of content. In any case this will add to the (already heavy) burden of work by reviewers and editors.
