A group of academic journals has been publishing "AI slop" papers under professors' names without their consent, including Stanford computer scientists Fei-Fei Li and Christopher Manning. Manning says he found two such papers in supposed journals like the Intl Journal of Computer Vision and AI Applications, calls this a worse scam than traditional predatory journals, and urges Google Scholar to avoid indexing them.
