The thing that really scared me about the landing site for Claude Science was this promotional image of the software in action:

Very depressing. MDPI journals will be saturated with these slop papers (if they're not already). It shocks me that Anthropic thought that this was a good thing, and says a lot about their research integrity (or lack thereof).

> Science has no idea yet how such disclosures should work yet.

Technically, most journals have a policy that LLM use should be acknowledged, but I agree we're still very much in the weeds about this right now. Much firmer guidelines should have been established years ago.

(I also have no issues with LLM usage in research either, btw -- I use LLMs to fact-check / proofread / discuss / sanity-check my conceptual work, to background myself in other research, and to refactor and assist with analytical coding. They can be a game-changer for medical research, when used rationally and sensibly.)
