Can You Discriminate ?

The world is awash with published fake articles written by artificial intelligence. One of the first was: "A Methodology for the Typical Unification of Access Points and Redundancy". Hundreds of such papers have been removed by publishers after discovering they were written by AI. There are now dozens of AI manuscript writers for sale.

Can you discriminate real nonsense from fake nonsense? Consider the four "authoritative" paragraphs below. Which one(s) were written by AI?

PARA 1
"People underestimate the power of models. Observational evidence is not very useful."

PARA 2
"The magnitude of inflation imposed on the instantaneous reproducibility with a compensatory constant used to correct the sustained reproducibility for the effect of nonrandom manufacturing errors, which perturbs the process center."

PARA 3
"Technologically advanced systems must interoperate in a system-of-systems context. Design Thinking is particularly effective in situations where there are multiple dimensions to consider, layers of meaning that challenge linear logic, and many gaps in understanding."

PARA 4
"Lean systems design thinking is a variation of design thinking that is specifically tailored to the manufacturing sector. Lean systems design thinking is a creative process that allows for experimentation and feedback."

Of course it raises the question, what do you trust? Should you trust anything you read on the net? Should you trust anything consultants try to sell to you?

The only way to know the truth is to investigate for yourself. Investigate the source. Investigate the statements and assumptions in the source. Check the facts. Check the references. The greater the hype, claims and promises, the greater the likelihood of deception. If everyone believes, be even more suspicious. Don't follow the herd. Think for yourself.

I've heard some people claim that they don't have the capability or time to investigate, or that they don't understand science. If you are in this position, you are most likely to be a victim of a scam. You are a con man's delight.

THE ANSWERS
The nonsense of Para 1 was written by Professor John Mitchell, OBE. It is the stuff of fairy land.

The farce of Para 2 is from the creator of the Six Sigma Scam, M Harry. He's talking about what he called the "pillar" of his Six Sigma, his fraudulent 1.5 sigma shift. Harry even admitted he was a con man. He wrote at length on using "smoke and mirrors" to defraud his gullible victims.

The third para is from one of Harry's victims, Boeing. It is marketing hype. A US judge described the 346 people Boeing killed as "crime victims". They died as a result of the "technologically advanced systems" of cost cutting.

The final para is AI generated fluff.
