It’s interesting that the fake paper generators of today are lower quality than the ones from over an decade ago. SciGen makes more believable papers and it came out in 2005 [0] This generator reeks of ChatGPT, and says “whimsical” and “fictional” every other word if you ask it to generate a paper that is obviously untrue. All this “safety” is so boring. [0] https://pdos.csail.mit.edu/archive/scigen/ Looks like maybe…

i mean its certainly designed to be funny not realistic or believable. and yes it uses openai apis for content generation.

It's not at all funny. It's dumb, and from the headline alone - "A dairy delight" - I already knew it was the lame and predictable ChatGPT language model with all it's repetitiveness, puns and consciously designed idiocy.

"dairy-inspired exploration" - word salad garbage

"we will humorously consider" - good to be reminded again, I was already falling for it

"the implications of a lactose-laden lunar surface" with acutely annoying aliterations.

Seeing that the output is just a few pages, I tried generating one that is supposed to be short. It made the title longer and added an entirely different topic:

Compare this with the original:

it started as a joke about boeing doors falling off and was quite funny. unfortunately i don't have time write a paper for each person who clicks the generate button so this will have to do.

You're not wrong, but I don't know if we should have been celebrating it if the quality of fake paper generators had been improved a lot since 2005.

SCIgen papers are the results of lots of manual rules:

It's an example of https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Expert_system

I am not sure what drives fakepaper.app but the output didn't seem to have as much variety.

It was funny. It will be funny again. It just wasn’t -that- funny - this- time.
