Eric Topol shared a report that one professor published over 200 papers and as many as 14 books this year — implying mass AI-generated output.
Reading the comments, Topol quipped that maybe the professor deserves a new title: "Professor of AI slop." The case adds fuel to growing concerns about AI-generated filler flooding academic publishing.
