    "To the Editor: We were unaware of Journal policies on image manipulation and had altered our submission by using an artificial intelligence (AI) tool to move the ruler to the top of the image. We therefore wish to retract our image and case report.1 Yuling Wang, M.Med. Xiangdong Mu, M.D "

    So the only thing AI was used for was to… Move a ruler to the top of an image? 🧐

      Yes, until they find more hallucinations

      I wish dumb excuses got punished more harshly, because it’s either trying to escape consequences or a genuine amount of stupidity that either way should have your degree and/or funding revoked.

        We were unaware of Journal policies on keeping copies of the original images

          lmao. What a pretext!

          Imagine being a researcher and not keeping the original images over the figures sent with a paper.

          And wouldn’t they have the upload to the AI slop platform? Or did they also delete that chat?
