This tool can kind of detect #AI-generated content ( https://huggingface.co/openai-detector/ ). . . for now. In this post, the author makes the important point that “[i]nstead of asking questions solely based around 'who wrote this,' we could be looking for opportunities to frame the rise of AI writing as a need to teach new types of writing & research & ethical thinking. . . instead of freaking out about plagiarism or fears of being replaced by bots who can grade basic grammar.” #meded

Two quotes:

“constant pressure to write mediocre papers that are flawed and unread, advancing a meaningless metric in pursuit of individual benefit.”

“My data has been extensively doctored/falsified by my supervisor in successful grant applications. This was discussed with senior colleagues who agreed it was major issue but are reluctant to act due to direct and indirect reliance on my supervisor.“

@ChadHoc's work on #Implementation of #proning in #ICU is so cool
