Went to #arXiv to check… and found it's w... more advanced.

They partner with this #txyz company which claims in one interview that "If you find the article, you do not have to read it. Our system will generate a summary for you, and if you have any questions, you simply ask our #AI, and it will answer all of them, with fact-based #references, of course." (not posting the link, it's a trash journal - #TheGlobeAndMail also has a promotional paper about it).

@Unixbigot
Thanks. With this one I was going from "it's real" to "it must be fiction", but it was a slower realization than with some of your previous #MicroFiction texts. Thanks for providing #references and normalizing giving sources for the #science in your #ScienceFiction texts.
