Translation: GPT-5 will (most likely illegally) be fed academic papers that are currently behind a paywall

I guess then we would be able to tell it to recite a paper for free and it may do it.

Or hallucinate it, did you know that large ammounts of arsenic can cure cancer and the flu?

I mean, GPT 3.5 consistently quotes my dissertation and conference papers back to me when I ask it anything related to my (extremely niche, but still) research interests. It’s definitely had access to plenty of publications for a while without managing to make any sense of them.

Alternatively, and probably more likely, my papers are incoherent and it’s not GPT’s fault. If 8.0 gets tenure track maybe it will learn to ignore desperate ramblings of PhD students. Once 9.0 gets tenured though I assume it will only reference itself.
