A University of Valencia professor ran a deliberate sting operation, submitting a fully ChatGPT-generated paper on an absurd premise to a predatory journal. It was accepted, published, and he was invoiced nearly $3,000 in APCs — with no meaningful peer review. A vivid, highly publishable demonstration of how AI amplifies the predatory publishing problem. Strong narrative hook; directly relevant to P2P Review's core themes of peer review integrity and AI's role in corrupting scholarly communication.
