#AI ChatGPT - OpenAI: Would you opine in an independent way on a peer reviewed paper or article?

I asked OpenAI:

"If I give you an academician’s peer reviewed paper or article, would you be able to opine in an independent way on its content?"

OpenAI answered: 

"As an AI language model, I can certainly read and understand the content of an academician's peer-reviewed paper or article. I can provide an analysis, summary, or answer questions about the material presented in the paper.

However, it's important to note that while I can process and comprehend the information, I don't have personal opinions or beliefs as a machine learning model. My responses are based on patterns in the data I was trained on and do not reflect any independent thinking or judgment.

If you have a specific paper or article you'd like me to review or discuss, please provide the relevant information, and I'll do my best to assist you with the content in an objective and informative manner."

Thanks!

You're welcome! If you have any more questions or need assistance in the future, feel free to reach out. Have a great day!

Note: Academia prepare yourself. George Orwell’s “One has to belong to the intelligentsia to believe things like that: no ordinary man could be such a fool”, is about to be truly tested.

Crony academic research

Crony research is when academic researchers cross reference papers that really add nothing to nothing… in “I reference You - You reference me”, “I invite you as a prominent expert – You invite me as a Prominent Expert” and “We publish you – You publish us” rituals. 

Crony research shamefully clogs up the system impeding the view of truly important research, and often leads sometimes for the debate on important issues to be dangerously monopolized by charlatans with a PhD or past luminaries who once in their life had an interesting and fresh thought and have been living on it ever since… thanks to crony research 

I am not an academician and so there might actually be some rules that apply and could stop a runaway crony research, but, if so, I am certain these are not sufficiently enforced.
