AI overview

Ethan Mollick said GPT-6 Pro routinely flags suspected errors in academic papers while doing other work, but confirming those errors and assessing their significance still takes substantial time. Mollick expects that verification process to become faster and said current mechanisms are not equipped to handle a flood of corrections. His claim concerns possible errors flagged by the model, not confirmed mistakes in the papers.
