emollick · x · 2026-10-12
Ethan Mollick notes GPT-6 Pro frequently surfaces suspected errors in academic papers as a side effect of other work. Confirming them remains slow today but will speed up, and academia lacks mechanisms to handle a flood of corrections. He adds most are likely nitpicks that don't overturn results, yet they fall outside the normal corrections process.
