Off-topic to Chinchilla, but relevant to the source site: MarkTechPost consistently borderline plagiarizes articles and shares them on their website as "paper summaries". They copy-paste from the source material and change some of the wording around as to appear original. My work, as well as other work from Berkeley AI Research, has been posted in this manner on their site.
This seems highly unethical, and I'm surprised how they continue to operate.
To add to this - they do this regularly, multiple times per week. While they do link to and acknowledge the source work, they do not make clear their writing is quoted or nearly quoted.
I don’t know about this site, and I agree its unethical. But it does make me realize that I much prefer using language of the paper directly as opposed to having a non-expert poorly
translate what your paper said. Especially given how papers put a lot of time in the accuracy and specificity of their language and word choices.
Would it also annoy you if they screwed up the interpretation of what you wrote? Is the alternative less reach of your work? For hard core research the tradeoffs are tougher it seems. If it is just a matter of non-nevermind, thats strictly messed up.
Thanks for the heads up! In that case, I'd prefer not to share this link with peers. Do you have an alternative source with similar high-level content to share?
