If you get caught using AI to lie about science, all the scientists in that field should be allowed to hit you with sticks and branches as much as they please.

"To the Editor: We were unaware of Journal policies on image manipulation and had altered our submission by using an artificial intelligence (AI) tool to move the ruler to the top of the image. We therefore wish to retract our image and case report.1 Yuling Wang, M.Med. Xiangdong Mu, M.D "

So the only thing AI was used for was to... Move a ruler to the top of an image? 🧐

“We used AI to move the ruler to the top of the image” what?

Why? Aesthetics? That’s either bullshit or the wackiest own goal of the day.

Could be real tho

The article mentions that the casts are created by inserting a cryoprobe in the lungs, like in a cryosurgery

Also, a similar thing: Plastic bronchitis

I'm not a doctor btw. I just like reading wikipedia articles.

Sad. This looks metal af

I could swear I know this black-metal band!

Was going to say, literally the only 'cast' I ever heard of for bronchial tubes was ultimately fatal for the person the cast was made of and that was cougulated blood not a toxic substance.
