Fake papers are reportedly swamping the system. The writer of any AI slop paper should be blacklisted.

I heard of a study in another field that said they were approaching 25% of papers that were faked up. Similar diagrams were found in many unrelated papers and the papers used each other as sources. These are being produced and sold wholesale.
