A decade ago I was critically opposed to the gamification of academic peer-review. It is sad to see my suspicions vindicated through Goodhart's law.

Point in case: "They could then take credit for the work on their CVs to gain a boost in professional evaluations. Some may have additional self-interest: Several reviewers asked the author to include citations to their own papers, and some authors complied."

> Ethical use of AI: How do you ensure your compliance?

We expect from you, @nextcloud, more than mere compliance with the law.

For a project founded and heavily promoted as ethically right, we expect compliance with what #ethics demands.

That means: No use of technology that consumes gargantuan amounts of electricity and fresh water. No use of #LLM corpuses extracted from the internet without consent of the creators.

While that is the "AI" being offered, reject it utterly.


"Ethics" is not the only problem with generative A.I. -- *epistemology* is broken too.

My latest for Public Books: in the face of #google telling us to eat rocks, we bought an encyclopedia.

Xenotransplantation is another example of how cruel, miserable and stupid the human being can be.
This is not science. It's a disgusting cruel business that only generates suffering, death and false hopes.
