        Subject: detecting disguised plagiarism

Where the writing was probably done by gAI
https://www.science.org/content/article/software-detects-tortured-acronyms-in-research-papers

To quote the intro paragraph:

"Any paper that uses the acronym CNN to stand for “convolutional brain
organization” probably wasn’t carefully written and revised by human
authors. Instead, researchers say, such “tortured acronyms” are likely the
work of software that altered earlier wording—“convolutional neural
network” in this case—to disguise plagiarism, while neglecting to change
the acronym. Now, journals have an automated tool for finding such
suspicious mismatches, which often signal a serious problem with the paper."
