The Synonyms

Three panels on who really wrote the paper.

Drawn with the help of Claude (Fable 5)

A three-panel comic. First panel: a person at a laptop says, GPT, invent the theory, prove it, and write the paper. The laptop replies, Done. Second panel: the person marks up the printed draft, saying, Now we rewrite it in our own words; the edits read THUS to THEREFORE and SHOWS to DEMONSTRATES. Third panel: two people sit with the finished paper, stamped VERIFIED and PUBLISHED above an AI disclosure reading, GPT produced the ideas, proofs, and draft. One asks, What did you contribute? The other answers, The synonyms.
The disclosure is accurate. That is the problem.
