Is... that reply by Miller serious? Please tell me it wasn't? 😬

@FediThing I think he means it. He certainly is doubling down on X https://x.com/JimDMiller/status/2055277720326529036
James Miller (@JimDMiller) on X

@tdietterich @arxiv So this means you expect every author to check every citation and make sure that every citation is real and accurate? What if it's beyond the ability of one of the authors to verify one of the citations because that citation is in a language he doesn't know or concerns technical

@docpop @FediThing I'm an xcancel fan, so I figured I'd share the link here:

This Miller character, if he's real, is beyond help. Farther down, he basically says that "AI-hallucinated inaccuracies are better than human inaccuracies because the AI inaccuracies are going to be so obviously wrong that no one would take them seriously."

I think I'm starting to see why he's so up in arms about the prospect of his scientific work, as it were, being held to higher standards.
