"Controversial AI-Generated Rat Image Sparks Journal Backlash"
A scientific journal published a paper with absurd graphics, including a rat with an exaggerated anatomy, after using an AI tool to generate the images. The paper, which claimed to depict the signalling pathway of sperm stem cells, has since been retracted, sparking concerns about the potential for researchers to use AI to fake their work. Scientists have criticized the journal for failing to catch the fraudulent imagery, highlighting the need for better detection methods for AI-generated content in scientific literature.
