| Oct 6, 2022 at 8:02 | comment | added | Mateusz Kwaśnicki | For the record: (1) None of the MathGen-generated papers listed at PPS was published in a mathematical journal, which is kind of optimistic. (2) I searched the PPS database for math journals: there is a bunch of them, but not too many, and of course some may be false positives. (3) The paper that I have accidentally found myself is not listed in PPS. The journal where it was published appears once, based on the use of "tortured phrases". (4) It is unclear to me how reliable the filters used by PPS are. There seem to be few false positives (see FAQ there), so there can be many false-negatives. | |

Unfortunately only a couple of pages of the chapter are Mathgen; most of the rest of it is simply plagiarized. | |
