First impressions:

1. The data in most of the plots (see the appendix) look fake. Real life data does not look that clean.

2. In May of 2022, 6 months before chatGPT put genAI in the spotlight, how does a second-year PhD student manage to convince a large materials lab firm to conduct an experiment with over 1,000 of its employees? What was the model used? It only says GANs+diffusion. Most of the technical details are just high-level general explanations of what these concepts are, nothing specific.

"Following a short pilot program, the lab began a large-scale rollout of the model in May of 2022." Anyone who has worked at a large company knows -- this just does not happen.

Oh, he also claimed that he got IRB approval from "MIT’s Committee on the Use of Humans as Experimental Subjects under ID E-5842. JEL Codes: O31, O32, O33, J24, L65." before conducting this research, i.e., at a time when he wasn't even a PhD student.
