Well, /g/?
Do you like this new reality?

Well, at least it is on theme, and some might argue that practical examples of productive implementations help them learn better.

hello saar

Is Govindakumar Madhavan even a real person? Is Govindakumar Madhavan a scammer? Why would he use chatgpt to write a fake book?

>>105847909
He has no academic publications prior to this book, but there is an iversity page about him stating that he's a founder SeaportAi - some small SaaS grift.

It's a problem with a lot of springer publications and it has been for years.

Springer is jeeted. New academic books are also jeeted; even on actual engineering.
Get older textbooks instead

This didn't get much traction on social media. Pretty sad.
Only found these 2 threads:

I assume they are suppressing the story.

Source on it being this way for years?

>>105848703
Try contacting a journalist who has written about fraud in academia before.

There's your problem

amazon is full of ai generated textbooks now, especially programming

>>105848765
What makes you better than an AI, if asking for a source isn't allowed?

Am I supposed to blindly believe everything I real online?

Name 5.

I'm so fucking tired of Indians. I will forever hate the British for introducing them to English. I fucking hope it all crashes and burns.

The consequences of jeets on human society …

I knew that books were worthless, but had no proof.

Just an example, there was a php book putting very bad practices and deprecated functions from 2003 or something. The book was supposedly written in 2019 if I remember correctly. Now we can meme about PHP being lebad and all that crap, or even say that a php book is not a priority for springer, but a publisher should not publish such crap, ever

>>105847674 (OP)
If an algorithm works, it doesn't need citations.

I was asking mroe so about other springer books using ai, but thats also interesting

If the author is a jeet I skip the book. simple as

This is standard in India. Things will get much worse from here. Microsoft isn't even fully Indian yet.

Junk science was already a problem and now AI is accelerating it further into the ground. Trump pulled US funding from science just in time. The way science is done as a whole needs to be retooled.

The solution is very simple. Stop admitting dumbasses.

There are too many people in academia. Leading to retarded competitiveness.
1 prof supervises many postdocs and phds, but when he retires or dies, only 1 position is open.

No. Computers were a mistake.

one of the most pressing matters of our time is isolating jeets from human society. i'm pretty sure the english language is already bricked. i feel only chinese has hope because they have the great firewall keeping and they controling their own websites. all chinese ceo are chinese there's no jeet ceo or customer service so they can't spread usual.

The large biotech I work for signed a big deal for unlimited OpenAI/ChatGPT access, and it hallucinates citations even today. Garbage

Yes, they want you like that.

His appointees like RFK were also using ai generated papers.

This is depressing.
