Sure, I'm a bit tired of repetitive ChatGPT output too. But I'm really surprised at how vitriolic this reply is.

It's a student's side project, with the tagline "Your Source for Academic Satire", with a basic one-liner prompt textbox. No one's expecting this to disrupt the academic world or whatever. The author (a college student) doesn't advertise this to be "the world's most advanced academic scientific rigorous paper generator", of course it's going to hook into GPT for content.

You don't have to like the project or think it's interesting, but problems with ChatGPT output are already apparent and well-known so I'm not sure what your comment adds.

I'm angry at ChatGPT and the like polluting the web, academia and people's minds.
To be fair, I would totally have the same reaction if this project didn't have all the "satire" and "jokes" stamped on it, and if it was advertised for actual use in research papers. And while this project in particular is (relatively) harmless, it is pretty disgusting to see in real paper submissions.
