Is this real or AI?

I think it's not real.

https://www.andrew.cmu.edu/cgi-bin/search?type=3&name=L

"lnye@andrew.cmu.edu" doesn't seem to be a real user.

There seems to be a lot of slope with no citations.

I think this submission should be flagged.

https://www.cmu.edu/swartz-center-for-entrepreneurship/educa... lists a certain "Logan Nye, MD". It doesn't give his email address, but I checked a few of the other people and their email addresses don't turn up with the search you linked either.

So I think the GitHub user logannye is most likely a real master's student at CMU, but that doesn't mean he isn't also mass-producing papers of questionable validity with AI.

It seems like he took a leave of absence from CMU to start his company (based on Linkedin)

you post this from an account created 3 weeks ago with karma 3 based on an email search?

The argument doesn't depend on the users karma

Plus the lack of scholar cites for any of the users papers is more damning than the email search - but they work together.

See my other post. The author has a TedX talk and papers with citations and co-authors, etc. While that wouldn't exclude a cloned profile, it certainly doesn't make him not real.

The person seems real, unless he faked his TedX talk 2 years ago https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Et5HC8SR0BA or 2700 followers on LI https://www.linkedin.com/in/logan-nye/ along with the company, a cofounder etc.

The volume and breadth of publications is unreal.

e.g. Quantum Extensions to the Einstein Field Equations - 10 citations https://www.scirp.org/pdf/jhepgc2024104_362181145.pdf

The physics paper has been published on a predatory 'open-access' journal, where basically you can pay to publish whatever (ref: https://blog.cabells.com/2021/07/07/no-signs-of-slowing/, look for scirp).

I gave a diagonal reading, it uses the right jargon somehow. They add some new components to the Einstein-Hilbert action they say originate from quantum complexity contributions, to be honest seems completely random, but i'm not an expert. Especially the conclusions look like they have been written with AI.

The 10 citations are almost all self-citing: https://scholar.google.com/scholar?cites=2388097775195172652...
