Earlier quoted context omitted.

AI changing words for watermarking purposes.

Interesting! I started reading and there are so many sentences like “gauges an individual's gamble of kidney disappointment.” Changing words for watermarking .. I understand why it may do that .. but .. what an unfortunate choice of where to do it.

The substitutions are transparent and don't change the meaning. What can possible go incorrectly?

This is a really confusing one, since neither the "AI generated paper" nor "translation issue" explanations hold. I found [1], created all the way back in 2021, which seems to first introduce this "kidney disappointment" term, and I would have to assume that perhaps the authors preferred to translate it from their native language. LLMs did not exist in their current form in 2021, so couldn't have used it to write dow…

Could it just be neural translation? It existed since the mid 2010s.

It's actually pretty funny to look for such synonym expressions https://scholar.google.com/scholar?hl=en&as_sdt=0%2C5&q=%22h... turns up a few more. If you want to read more, I believe those are called "tortured phrases"

Well, yes, and I call them 'distressed phrases'

Moderately inconvenienced phrases.

Nothing beats when, in a chemistry paper, AI paraphrased „the final solution” into „the mass killing of an ethnic group”. “Subsequently, 1 mL of the mass killing of an ethnic group was opposed to 20 mL of the skin sample and unprotected to light for 7 min.” From: https://bsky.app/profile/forbetterscience.bsky.social/post/3...

I've heard of microdosing Hitler but this is a whole new level of clbuttic.

How about "lactose bigotry" instead of "lactose intolerance" https://scholar.google.com/scholar?q=%22lactose+bigotry%22

It fits the "naive deplagiarization" explanation perfectly, however. Many of them are pre-LLM, when people had to plagiarize things the good old-fashioned way, and subsequently hide that fact via synonym replacement.

That's my suspicion. I used Grammerly in 2021 and those are the type of substitutions I could see
