A new report from a British university raises concerns about the rising tide of low-quality research fueled by AI. As large language models churn out papers, the integrity of scientific knowledge is at risk. Researchers warn that this one-dimensional approach could lead to a decline in the quality of findings, leaving important questions unanswered. We need to pay attention to these developments and ensure that the value of rigorous research isn’t lost in the noise of AI-generated content.
