Je n'en peux plus de voir de l'IA générative partout 😐 Regardez-moi ces "dessins". Il est devenu impossible d'effectuer une recherche web sans tomber sur ce genre de truc approximatif, bancal, qui déforme le réel et détruit les métiers de l'illustration. #IA

Visuel montrant 4 illustrations de coccinelles qui ont l'air d'avoir été peintes à l'aquarelle. Le texte dit : "Elles sont jolies, ces illustrations, non ? Elles sont jolies, oui... Mais c'est du grand n'importe quoi généré par IA."Visuel montrant les 4 mêmes illustrations de coccinelles, avec un texte disant :"Quand on y regarde de plus près, il n'y a rien qui va : Face blanche inexistante chez cette espèce, la coccinelle à 7 points, un individu représenté avec 7 pattes, un autre avec 6 ou 12 points, d'autres avec un nombre de tarses faux, etc. Le texte précise "je n'ai même pas assez de place pour indiquer tous les problèmes"."Si on tient un peu à la réalité, Si on tient un peu à la rigueur scientifique, Si on tient un peu aux personnes qui exercent le métier d’illustrateur·rice (au passage : être illustrateur·rice scientifique, ce n’est pas juste “savoir dessiner”, c’est aussi avoir une *connaissance* de ses sujets), ... Alors svp, arrêtons de promouvoir et d’utiliser l’IA générative."

New from The Strain Team: 🎊 Springer Nature Discovers MDPI 🎊 Springer Nature has spawned a copycat journal series called "Discover" mimicking #MDPI journal titles and citation behaviours. We even made a browser game to prove it (see 🔗). Gross! 😀 1/n #ResearchIntegrity #SciPub #AcademicSky

Q: What happens when a #PublishOrPerish" research culture meets #AI readable biomedical databases? A: "An explosion of formulaic research articles, including inappropriate study designs and false discoveries." New in @plosbiology.org... journals.plos.org/plosbiology/...

Explosion of formulaic research articles, including inappropriate study designs and false discoveries, based on the NHANES US national health database

The combination of AI and national health databases offers opportunities, but may also be exploited by unethical agents. This study shows that there has been an explosion of formulaic research article...

I’ve been seething and grieving since yesterday’s Friday Night Massacre of NIH overheads, a seeming bit of bureaucratic trivial that will in fact destroy the US university system if unchecked. But I want to get away from budgets and rate breakdowns and F&A percentages for a moment. Humor me?

Extinction of experience among ecologists www.cell.com/trends/ecolo... This seems directly related to me to the lack of engagement of community scientists in academia, and to the greying of OSS. Capitalism and fascism squeeze out the opportunities for the lower and middle to join in.

Extinction of experience among ecologists

Fieldwork-based research and education in ecology are under multiple threats and are progressively declining. We call for greater attention to this ongoing loss of direct field experience within the e...

Hi bird people! Anybody knows if there is some field evidence of continued skeletal growth in birds? I have some starling data that suggests so for beak and tarsus length and cannot find much elsewhere. Thanks in advance!
