Sure, just as long as we don't blame LLMs.
Blame people, bad actors, systems of incentives, the gods, the devils, but never broach the fault of LLMs and their wide spread abuse.
- wvenable 1y agoWhat would be the point of blaming LLMs? What would that accomplish? What does it even mean to blame LLMs? LLMs are not submitting these papers on their own, people are. As far as I'm concerned, whatever blame exists rests on those people and the system that rewards them.
- jsrozner 1y agoPerhaps what is meant is "blame the development of LLMs." We don't "blame guns" for shootings, but certainly with reduced access to guns, shootings would be fewer.
- nandomrumber 1y agoGuns have absolutely nothing to do with access to guns. Guns are entirely inert objects, devoid of either free will nor volition, they have no rights and no responsibilities. LLMs likewise.

- cyco130 1y agoLLMs are not people. We can’t blame them.
- anonym29 1y agoThis was a problem before LLMs and it would remain a problem if you could magically make all of them disappear. LLMs are not the root of the problem here.
- miki123211 1y agoLLMs are tools that make it easier to hack incentives, but you still need a person to decide that they'll use an LLM t do so. Blaming LLMs is unproductive. They are not going anywhere (especially since open source LLMs are so good.) If we want to achieve real change, we need to accept that they exist, understand how that changes the scientific landscape and our options to go from here.
- noobermin 1y agoeveryone keeps claiming "they're here to stay" as if it's gospel. this constant drumbeat is rather tiresome and without much hard evidence.
- latentsea 1y agoWhat evidence do you need exactly? I think such statements are likely projections of people's own unwillingness to part with such tools given their own personal perceived utility. I, for one, wouldn't give up LLMs. Too useful to me personally. So, I will always seek them out.
- gus_massa 1y agoIf they go away, it's because they have been replaced by something better(worse) like LLLM or LLMM or whatever. I'old enough to remember when GAN where going to be used to scam millions of people and flood social media with fake profiles.
- LunaSea 1y agoGenuinely curious, did we ever manage to ban a piece of technology worldwide and effectively?

- xandrius 1y agoI blame keyboards, without them there wouldn't be these problems.
