A scholar announced his new "professional milestone": a chaired full professor at UChicago, unhappy with his critique and a resulting Washington Post article, emailed the author's dean an AI-generated negative review of his entire body of work.
A follow-up adds that this professor reportedly published 200 papers in 2026 alone — none citing each other, a detail critics read as a telltale sign of AI mass-produced research.
