Elsevier unveils Scopus for research reviews | Times Higher Education (THE)

@ingorohlfing @academicchatter If scientific authors have given away their copyright to Elsevier for free for decades, and their institutions have bought back their texts at outrageous prices, why shouldn't they accept paying similarly outrageous prices for their brand-new bullshit generator (a.k.a or )? https://www.timeshighereducation.com/news/elsevier-launches-scopus-ai-bot-literature-reviews

I wonder if the research done by community should be available to be parsed by an AI.
Maybe it would be better just open for humans.

@sposadelvento @ingorohlfing @academicchatter The problem is that AI is a function of concentrated technological capacities and capabilities (https://www.openmarketsinstitute.org/publications/report-ai-in-the-public-interest-confronting-the-monopoly-threat), and even if the data and texts as data were public, as it should be, the monopolies (unless broken) would still have the upper hand in computational power.
