The existences of many peculiar discontinuities and inconsistencies in humanity's science and technology tree, coupled with the extrem dogmatism of mainstream scientific narratives, begs the question: Could there be a highly advanced, secretive breakaway civilization on Earth, orchestrating events from behind the scenes? It certainly would strengthen my faith in science and humanity...

A science paper that gives ChatGPT authorship - and - Abstracts written by ChatGPT fool scientists
#Comment: There is a millennia old tradition east and west of giving authorship to disembodied / imaginary beings, such as ghosts, demons, gins, spirits, angels, gods etc. Giving ChatGPT authorship feels like a continuation of that tradition.
