Fake Paper Generator

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.

Looks like maybe it doesn’t work anymore which is a little sad.

I think the prompt should be changed to commit to the joke a bit more. It keeps reminding me that it's ridiculous satire.

See the sibling comment https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=41094612

Apparently this is a safety feature.

I think that’s just how ChatGPT works. It’s really tiring and apparently the only way to tell you aren’t talking to a bot in 2030 will be to say you think eating soap is a fantastic idea or something else AI refuses to say because of “safety”.

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

Looks like generations are failing. Didn't plan for 60+ people to be generating concurrently.

attempting to push basic job queue. here goes nothing
