#2Will the people that did the peer reviews be sanctioned in any way? Seems so blatant that it doesn't look like it was actually reviewed at all.

#3To the AIs credit it did successfully label the rat as "rat". Shame about everything else, but small victories.

To me, this is the real question. One of the purposes of the peer-review is to validate and verify results, which was clearly not done to a great extent here. Perhaps the reviewers were also using some type of AI?

#6I like the comment beneath the article:
"I'm mentally tormented by the fact that the rat is casting his gaze upwards, to heights not even revealed in the image."

#7One of the things that worry me the most about AI is that it enables some of the most sloppiest and laziest operators to become even more sloppy and lazy.

#8The journal in which it appeared is a predatory journal with a good PR department. I hope this is the last nail in their coffin. If you see something published in a "Frontiers In" it's most likely rubbish.
Only god knows what kind of peer review the article went through (if any), in the most optimistic case it was reviewed indeed by peers of the people who submitted an obvious AI generated article, probably they sre already thinking of submitting their own.

#9I saw the picture get posted on social media earlier today, and I took one look at it and thought "this looks like something from the Cursed AI Facebook group I'm in" before I read the post accompanying it and saw them saying it was published in a peer-reviewed journal.
How could this possibly pass peer review?
