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:

https://github.com/aiming-lab/AutoResearchClaw

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. 🦞

It does feel like the end times, doesn't it.

What makes this so hard for me to process is the utter lack of intellectual integrity, in a profession that is entirely based on presuming integrity. I should be used to it by now, but each new manifestation shocks me yet again.

@the_roamer It's a really depressing state of affairs. It's also beyond me how anyone from a "serious" (whatever that might mean these days) research institute thinks this is a good idea.
