<p>The principle is similar to foveated imaging [1].<p>Recently, Samsung introduced the ISOCELL platform which allows to select the area which will be recorded at higher resolution compared to other regions.<p>There can be all sorts of different applications build around such as extracting higher resolution of text regions, etc [2].<p>Of course, the lens needs to support this resolution but I think that will be default in the mid-term future.<p>[1]: <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Foveated_imaging" rel="nofollow">https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Foveated_imaging</a><p>[2]: <a href="https://dl.acm.org/doi/10.1145/3799902.3811218" rel="nofollow">https://dl.acm.org/doi/10.1145/3799902.3811218</a></p>

<p>I found once super old books in our lab (like hundreds of years) and was wondering what they were used for.<p>Apparently they did CT scans of closed books and read the content.

<p>I am fully aware of the costs and so on. But i can certainly imagine that LLMs help with the process of understanding and editing old code.<p>And of course you need to test and debug before you ship to production.</p>

<p>Many of the issues could potentially be solved by modern LLMs?<p>Reading, analyzing and assembling documentation could be probably done by LLMs.<p>And by including old code and snippets into the training set, the LLM could be fairly proficient in writing this code probably too?<p>Maybe someone knows more about the use/not-use of LLMs in this context?</p>

<p>Good initiative!<p>The problem is: publication is based on reputation. Reputation takes time and effort from the entire community.<p>I feel like modern infrastructure (Google Scholar, AI research, LinkedIn, etc) helped to decrease the importance of high-impact journals such as Nature, etc. Researchers don't rely on highly curated printed journals in their physical mailbox to get informed what's happening. You can just use tools to scrape content much faster.<p>But still: It can be career decisive if a reseachers lands a publication in a for-profit journal such as Nature.<p>The CS community has a much nicer publishing pipeline where most top journals/proceedings are attached to non-profit conferences and the fee is 0 (beside a conference fee).<p>I wish more fields would work like this: you publish with a conference proceeding and talk on the conference about your paper.<p>Researchers are themselves responsible for typesetting, advertising, etc. This and removing for-profit stakeholders can reduce the costs a lot.</p>

<p>Partially agree.
However, this problem has existed with scam e-mails since the 90s.<p>For me the solution is in signed e-mails and signed documents. If the person invites me to a online meeting with a signed e-mail, I trust that person that it's really them.<p>Same for footage of wars, etc. The journalist taking it basically signs the videos and verifies it's authenticity. It is AI generated, then we would loose trust in that person and wouldn't use their material anymore.</p>

<p>It doesn't surprise me it happens within the Elsevier ecosystem.
Elsevier has a long tradition of scientific misconduct and scientifically immoral behavior (see Wikipedia).<p>The operating margin of Elsevier is around 40% which is huge! At the end mostly paid by tax-payer money.<p>Personally, I never review or publish with Elsevier.</p>

<p>I am not so skeptical about AI usage for paper writing as the paper will be often public days after anyways (pre-print servers such as arXiv).<p>So yes, you use it to write the paper but soon it is public knowledge anyway.<p>I am not sure if there is much to learn from the draft of the authors.</p>
