#AI tools seem to be generating a large swath of low-quality, formulaic biomedical articles drawn from #OpenAccess biomedical databases. For example, since the rise of #LLMs about three years ago, the number of new biomedical articles is about 5k larger than previous moving average would have predicted. The researchers who noticed this trend argue for the "adoption of controlled data-access mechanisms" -- that is, pulling back from #OpenData.

PS: The conclusion doesn't follow from the premises. This is like arguing that we should restrict clean air, clean air, and crowbars because criminals take advantage of them to commit crimes.
