I was sent via DM (so will respect privacy) the Google Scholar profile of somebody. I looked them up on Scopus and this is the profile (articles published by year). Should this raise any red flags, or okay?

and he now has 5,194,409 citations, and an h-index of 1,835 (second image).

In 39 days his citations have increased by 1,069,301 and his h-index has increased by 159.

I would love to know how he is manipulating his account (as he obviously is).

I was sent a Google Scholar profile via a DM (so I'll respect the privacy). This person has published 42 articles (according to Google Scholar) and 40 articles (according to Scopus).

The main part of the graphic shows the number of authors on each of the 40 Scopus indexed articles.

AI leaders predict AGI soon, but how close are we really to AI that thinks like us? The challenges of testing machine intelligence make it hard to say.
