Although there have been many such reports in the media, I believe this the first case published in the academic literature.

When I submitted a paper to AI & Society the email confirmation sent me to a website that told me my language quality score was only 3/10 but RUBRIQ could fix it. I study this stuff, so uploaded my paper to RUBRIQ, which proceeded to introduce scientific fabrication and change scientific terms.

Generative AI is literally destroying knowledge
wikipedia's data shows that AI is siphoning traffic away from the site, which is a danger to its sustainability. ironically Wikipedia is more important than ever to users who want reliable information instead of slop, and to AI companies that need it for training data www.404media.co/wikipedia-sa...
Wikipedia Says AI Is Causing a Dangerous Decline in Human Visitors
“With fewer visits to Wikipedia, fewer volunteers may grow and enrich the content, and fewer individual donors may support this work.”
