A first! I was asked to review a manuscript for an ACS journal that is fabricated and/or AI generated. So many "tortured phrases", the methodology makes no sense, references are irrelevant, etc. If you like ultrasonic pseudopotentials or converging the self-concordant field, this paper is for you!

Another step towards having an NSF-designated "conflict of interest" with every single person in my field 😅😭
