AI slop has already become prevalent across the internet (and in the classroom). But according to multiple reports, artificial intelligence is posing an increasingly serious threat to scientific literature, too. Researchers have uncovered a concerning number of AI-generated papers published in reputable journals, even experts can no longer identify AI-generated โ€œscienceโ€ images, and the amount of AI slop submitted to publishers will only increase as the technology continues to improve.
