At -40°C, everything feels different. Air becomes heavier, spin becomes sharper, and it does not just move around you. It moves through you.Even our breath feels loud and becomes visible.

【导读】如果论文是AI写给AI看的，那人类还剩下什么？ 本月初，挪威奥斯陆的一个寒冷午后。 心理学教授Dan Quintana计划宅在家中，把那件拖了几周的苦差事给办了。 他是心理学领域一家知名期刊的受邀审稿人，他打开了一篇需要他审阅的一篇待发论文。 这篇文章粗看上去中规中矩，逻辑通顺，数据详实，没什么异常的地方。 直到Quintana扫了一眼参考文献：他在那长长的列表里，看到了自己的名字，这一下让他疑惑了。 这篇论文引用了他的一项工作，标题看起来非常合理，列出的合作作者也是他过去确实合作过的伙伴。 一切看似正确， 但只有一个致命问题：这篇被引用的文章，压根就不存在，它是一篇彻头彻尾的「幽灵论文」！ AI不仅捏造了观点，还捏造了整条引用链，甚至贴心地为了增加可信度，通过算法把Quintana真实的合作网络都算了一遍，凭空编造了一个让他本人都差 点信以为真的「真论文」。 每天，Quintana都会在Bluesky和LinkedIn看到同行吐槽发现「幽灵引用」的事情。 就连美国政府去年春天发布的关于儿童健康的MAHA报告初版中就包含六处以上的此类引用。 一直以来，Quintana认为这种低级错误只会发生在那些为了 ...
