Unfortunately, the preponderance of very low value research in the literature puts a significant burden on the scientists who have to sift through a lot of garbage to find what they're looking for. Even if the work is ostensibly correct (much of it is not), it really doesn't do anyone much good, except for the authors of course. But now every undergraduate and every parent's vanity project at Andover wants a first author contrib., so here we are.

I think language models will help us sift through the garbage. I have a hard time finding answers using Google (too much SEO garbage), but ChatGPT does a pretty good job of filtering the noise. It's not perfect, but it saves lots of time vs. Google.
