MIT asks arXiv to withdraw preprint of paper on AI and scientific discovery

you'd think that such a widely cited fraudulent paper might have caused problems in other research, but probably nobody who cited it actually read it anyway, so. it's turtles all the way down.

That looks like the kind of paper that causes companies to lose lots of money by hyping up what is likely a less-than-impressive method. But it does not make any theoretical claims, so it cannot contaminate research.

I wonder why it is so cited in the literature.
