Description
1 study reviewed
In plain English

The tools currently used to identify AI-written fake academic papers cannot stop them from being published in large numbers.

See the scientific wording

Current methods for detecting AI-generated fake papers are limited and insufficient to prevent their proliferation in academic publishing.

Why this might work

Automated tools used to scan papers for artificial content cannot recognize all forms of machine-generated text, so fake papers slip through and get published without being caught.
