I think there is a confidence score actually! Most blogs about it don't show them but this one went into it: https://arr.am/2020/07/25/gpt-3-uncertainty-prompts/ It's really cool how the uncertainty prompts alter the confidence associated with the next words. I guess I'm not disagreeing with you in the abstract that a theoretically strong enough AI could identify bad papers, especially if it had some help for 'real' arithmetic. It at least could flag the most basic issues like plagiarism, cited documents that don't contain the cited fact, etc. Detecting claims that are themselves implausible seems like the hardest task possible, however. That's very close to general AI. |

Yes, of course. I was simply trying to say that an AI can be quite successful in detecting the usual no-nos, eg. multiple comparisons without correcting for it, p-hacking, or ... who knows what "feature" the classifier would find. Maybe there's simply none, so it'll be really up to subject matter experts to review them. (But it's unlikely, because there are quite successful blogs devoted to simply picking apart shoddy papers simply based on looking at the controls, and other parts of experiment design and the methods sections, and of course the aforementioned stats.)
