Elsevier’s response, they said, was “to maintain that the editors should not be paying attention to language, grammar, readability, consistency, or accuracy of proper nomenclature or formatting.”
Fucking hell, Elsevier, we all know you’re shitty people who are doing immense harm to the world for personal gain, but do you have to rub it in our faces every time? Can’t you at least like pretend?
I don’t think “what value are we bringing to the academic publishing industry?” is something anybody there really considers. Well unless you define “value” as “shareholder profit”, at any rate.

If they think their editors should be ignoring all that, then what the fuck should they be doing?
They don’t think there should be editors around. You don’t have to pay AI except maybe a subscription fee.
I’m really asking myself here: what is Elsevier doing for a living?
Like, what value do they bring to the table at this point? Pushing submissions through a shitty chatgpt wrapper?
They’re making money for a living.
