What do you do when a co-author who is supposed to give a full review of a manuscript draft comes back with 3 typos, and then, complements it with: "Additionally, I am attaching below an AI generated critical report which is clearly biased, yet can give some guidance on points to be improved if possible at all at this stage. Apart from those substantial improvement suggestions that we cannot incorporate right now, the manuscript seems to me keeps a good standard as is.".
Yet, when you read the AI-report, you realize neither the AI, nor the co-author has a clue of what is actually being conveyed in the manuscript. If the author had read the paper, he'd have realized all the "substantial" improvement suggestions are just garbage.
There is no shame anymore. #AIslop
The solution I'm gravitating towards is to leave the profession entirely. I get that might not be for everyone, though.

I think about this a lot...

It's hard giving up tenure...
And that's why it is even harder to change the profession.
reply
Yeah, that's not possible for me.
Also, it motivates me even more to be the change i want to see in the profession.
Damn, i sound like a naive undergrad student.

Senior or junior coauthor?
reply
Senior.
It's sad, because he's one of the most brilliant scientists i know. He did it for a lack of time, not a lack of skill. Having his actual input on the paper would have been so much more valuable.
He seems to have developed a weird fascination for AI which keeps him from noticing some of its obvious shortcomings. One needs time to learn how to use AI well. Time he does not have.
reply
Ah, that's disappointing. I wonder why he doesn't feel like he can just be honest and say, "I took a quick look at it, and here are a few typos, but otherwise it seems ok!"
I have some senior coauthors like that, and I honestly don't mind it. Their presence is usually helpful in other ways, without having to touch a lot of manuscript work or research work directly.

Wow man, thanks a lot, but it wouldn't work in English because I speak Spanish. I'll see if I can get the subtitles or download it from somewhere. I'm going to go out and look for it right now.....!!

Honestly, I’d kick him off the co-author list, or, maybe shrink his name down to size 8 font or something! ~lol
