> Also glancing at the repo. Such an advanced machine, yet failing to output results with a common template. Every pdf is entirely different from the one before, making the work of the poor humans trying to find a sense in it even more difficult.

I don’t think it helps your argument if this is half of your post. The fact that the pdfs don’t follow a common template? That’s the complaint? Human papers also don’t follow a template.

But human papers follow templates...? (Both literal templates based on editorial and org guidelines and structural and presentation templates in the form of traditions of the research area.)

They follow journal templates once they are accepted. Not for preprints. Which these essentially are.

AFAIK, people are complaining about the lack of this.


Plus, you know, you could use the AI to reformat it into any template you want. You could turn them all into anime music videos if you wanted. This is not a lack of capability, they didn't prompt it to use a template.
