Benjamin Skuse used free chatbots and an autonomous research system to produce two submission-ready papers and sent them to IEEE Access; automated integrity checks and editors flagged problems including fabricated references and heavy reliance on non-peer-reviewed preprints.

Summary

AI-assisted summary of the linked source

In a hands-on test, Benjamin Skuse produced two AI-generated manuscripts—one assembled from free LLMs and one produced by the autonomous system FARS—and submitted them to IEEE Access; the journal’s automated and human checks flagged ghost citations in the first paper and an over-reliance on preprints plus graphic artifacts in the second, leading to rejection of both.
