I don't believe it is, because I'd hope that academicians would better understand the distinction between token-uncertainty and semantic-uncertainty/semantic-correctness (or at least endeavor to establish a data-backed correlation between the two before making claims about their relation). As I noted in my other comment, I believe that the author of this is making a fundamental misunderstanding, which per their note at the top, is probably why they haven't been able to actually yield practical results.

I don't say that to be a hater or discourage them because they may well be on to something, and it's good for unique approaches like this to be tried. But I'm also not surprised there aren't academic papers about this approach because if it had no positive effects for the reasons I mention, it probably wouldn't get published.
