They were academic works without any kind of scientific basis

The app completely made it up

Meta has been heavily criticized for bringing artificial intelligence online Able to write academic papers. The problem is that they are false and implausible, but they follow a thread that makes them make sense. This has meant that her AI, called Galactica, has been considered by scientists as something full of “nonsense” as they explain from Futurism.

In any case, Galactica was online for three days before being removed. Social media users and pundits have criticized the use of an artificial intelligence concept to produce scientific material. Being one of the most critical Gary Marcus, who felt it was “shit” and pointed out that it followed the precepts of OpenAI artificial intelligence which “they spit out stuff that is grammatically incorrect and that is absolute garbage.”

The project even went so far as to guarantee this there were bears in space, something that made it totally bizarre and meaningless. It was the story of a Soviet bear named Bars who was cast as Laika.

While it’s funny, it’s totally false and sows a capacity for generating disinformation that is dangerous to say the least.
