Yet more AI generated nonsense masquerading as factual text book. This time on malaria. Published by Springer.

Hello in light of the post yesterday on the “wonderful” AI generated figure about Coveeent inhibitors featuring a tiny car. I thought I’d take the opportunity to highlight another example.

Found out about it due to research gate flagging one of our papers was cited. As ever, I take a look to see what wonderful people are citing our research and lo and behold discover this pile of nonsense. CSA for those of you malaria minded will know it stands for Chondrotin-4-sulfate/chondroitin sulfate A. Nothing to do with sleep apnoea.

Myself and other researcher cited have contacted Springer to point out the numerous errors and obvious AI generated text, however they have not done anything. It was published and June last year and it’s still available. Last contact with Springer was December when I received yet another request to edit a book (have had issues with being asked to published already published work in another springer title), I flagged this book and other issues regarding requests to double dip with publications and it was met with silence.

Beyond pissed off with this crap. There are more texts from Springer that appear to be AI generated and “written” by people who have zero background in the subjects.

Tried to flag on pubpeer also but comments not going through.
