For-profit academic publishers love LLM garbage: Kevin Munger on Crooked Timber, https://crookedtimber.org/2024/11/08/for-profit-academic-publishers-love-llm-garbage/
Munger argues that under current open-access pay-to-publish standards, they make a profit on each LLM-produced paper, are motivated primarily by profit, and have little short-term incentive to make their journal content meaningful to subscribers. Therefore, if we want to continue to be able to find meaningful scholarly content, we need to look elsewhere than these publishers. Munger advocates diamond open-access instead, cutting out the profit motive.
